Abstract
The VanhaerentsArtCollection is a unique and comprehensive collection of contemporary art. Its origins date back to the 1970s, when a young Walter Vanhaerents (b. 1945 Belgium) began amassing his first works of art. Gathering pieces that were considered extremely fierce and radical at the time, he laid the groundwork for a collection that nowadays ranges among the most prestigious worldwide.
This book provides an in-depth look at the Brussels-based collection. Through text and lavish illustrations, it explores the rich history of this family collection and chronicles all exhibitions since 2007, the year the VanhaerentsArtCollection officially opened its doors to the public. Highlighting more than a hundred major works from the collection, this book is a testament to the vanguard spirit of the Vanhaerents family and their passion for new and forward-looking art.
