In some ways, Brussels is resisting. If the 2023 edition of the Art Brussels fair – previously in the Tour & Taxis, now in an emblematic 1935 building on the Heysel plateau – offers a relatively faithful panorama of the contemporary art scene, the Belgian capital remains unique.
Liv Vaisberg (Co-director of the Collectible fair), recently told us that "a lot of the things going on can only happen [in Brussels]." For a full picture, it is also worth looking at the leading private collections opening in April.
Let’s take a closer look.
