The 54th BRAFA will feature 130 exhibitors from 11 countries at Tour & Taxis between January 23 and February 1.
The Erdész & Makláry Fine Arts Gallery will bring works by well known Hungarian artists such as Judit Reigl, Simon Hantai and László Moholy-Nagy.
Reigl, 85, moved to France in 1950. Reigl's first exhibition in France was organised with the assistance of the surrealist André Breton. Soon after, she departed from surrealism and started working with other mediums.
Many of her works are included in French private and public collections, including many works at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and a couple at the Tate Gallery in London. Her first exhibition in Hungary was at the Műcsarnok in 2005.
"She established a purely gesture-based painting, which in essence meant that there were no pre-planned moves, execution was fast and the artist worked in a ecstatic state," Erdész and Makláry say of Reigl.
Hantai, also a Hungarian painter who emigrated to France, died last autumn. Among contemporary Hungarian artists, he holds the record for highest price at auction: EUR 462,000 for a work put on the block by Christie's Paris in 2005.
Among the Hantai works Erdész & Makláry Fine Arts Gallery will bring to Brussels are some from his pliage series.
A work by László Moholy-Nagy
László Moholy-Nagy worked with many different media and left an indelible mark on Modernist art. Works that show his changeover from realism to constructivism will be shown in Brussels.
