BRAFA ART FAIR 2026 I STAND 118: Art Fair
The HELENE BAILLY MARCILHAC Gallery is delighted to be participating in the 71st edition of BRAFA, one of Europe's most prestigious art fairs, for the fourteenth consecutive year. The fair will be held from January 25 to February 1, 2026, at Brussels Expo.
A must-see event for art lovers and collectors, BRAFA shares its passion for art through daily conferences at the King Baudouin Foundation stand and guided tours in several languages, offering its visitors an exceptional cultural experience...
On this occasion, the gallery will present a selection of post-impressionist, fauvist, and modern works, bringing together some of the most important names of these periods.
Among the major works on display, the gallery will present an exceptional piece by Émile Othon Friesz dating from 1907, a vibrant testimony to fauvism at its peak, an intimate, fauvist canvas by Henri Manguin from 1908 depicting a woman undressing, and a luminous work by Théo van Rysselberghe, also from 1908, brilliantly illustrating the neo-impressionist aesthetic of this period.
The exhibition will also feature a selection of works by Kees van Dongen, revealing the diversity of his subjects and periods. From vibrant bouquets created in 1907 to later floral compositions from the 1950s, as well as his intimate scenes and iconic portraits, the collection bears witness to the evolution of his touch and his sense of color. This presentation will highlight the richness of a body of work that combines Fauvist audacity, chromatic virtuosity, and stylistic freedom.
A Cocoon Tree by Charles Macaire will complete the collection. In it, the artist celebrates the value of gesture and the nobility of manual labor. Entirely handmade from paper, this delicate and airy work aptly embodies the encounter between artistic creation and craftsmanship, extending the dialogue between nature, matter, and poetry.
Come and see us at stand 118!
