World Focus from Brussels

Brussels Arts Square in Sablon Shows Lively Gallery Scene – An interview with Jonathan F. Kugel

Sveinn Helgason

Brussels has a very lively art gallery scene and a thriving market for art that is internationally recognized. This week, from 21 to 24 September, 70 galleries and jewellers take part in the annual Brussels Art Square in the Sablon neighbourhood. World Focus from Brussels visits one of art dealers taking part, Jonathan Kugel, in his gallery in the heart of Sablon. We discuss the importance of Brussels Art Square, the market for art in general, how to be aware of forgeries and how the business of art is evolving – becoming more digital but at the same time holding on to personal face to face relationships.
