Baronian

Renowned as one of the oldest galleries in Belgium, Albert Baronian opened its first gallery in 1973 and immediately enjoyed international success thanks to its presentation of Arte Povera artists: Alighiero e Boetti, Mario Merz, Giulio Paolini and Gilberto Zorio. Later, as president of the Association des Galeries, the Brussels Art Fair took on a more international dimension under his leadership. He sees the gallery's responsibility as threefold: to work towards the long-term development of each artist's career, liaising with international galleries and museums and placing works in collections; to create a historical archive for each artist; and to act as an accessible public space in which exhibitions become an exemplary gesture of the power of subjectivity for the general public. The programme is devoted to contemporary art, as well as to the artistic movements and major artists who have marked the last fifty years. At his side, Roland de Lathuy personally assists collectors in their search for the ideal private sale or acquisition. Over the years, Mr de Lathuy has built strong relationships with key collectors and is known for his knowledge and passion.
