Whitford Fine Art - Spectacular 'TIME IS MONEY' (1984) by Bram Bogart

In 1984, Leni Bogart, wife of Bram decided to document in a series of photographs Bram’s painting activities. Bram set out making a work. As usual he started working outside but it began to rain. Covers were put over the work to protect it. Next day, Bram resumed work, and it began to rain again. Days went on and turned into weeks. Bram was able to work on the painting in between rain showers. So much time had been lost due to the rain that Bram Bogart called this work ‘Time is Money’, the aphorism first used in an essay by Benjamin Franklin in 1748. Bogart’s ‘Time is Money’ was exhibited at the James Mayor Gallery in London in 1988 where Whitford Fine Art acquired it. Since 1988 the work has not been on the market. This iconic painting called ‘Time is Money’ is one of the best documented works Bram Bogart ever painted. Whitford is proud to present this spectacular, historically important and totally market-fresh work for Brafa’s 70th anniversary for the first time in 25 years!

ABOUT

Founded by Adrian Mibus in 1973, Whitford Fine Art is a quintessential family business that offers private clients and museums almost fifty years of experience. The gallery has recently left its long-term premises in Duke Street, St. James’s and is now operating by appointment in the Dansaert district in Brussels. During the 1980s, the gallery traded as Whitford and Hughes and supported the Belgian movements of Luminism and Expressionism. Whilst dealing in 20th century movements, including French Cubism, Modernism, Pop Art and International Post-War painting and sculpture, Whitford Fine Art has always been at the forefront of discovery. The gallery operates along art historical criteria and were early defenders of artists such as Bram Bogart, Paul Van Hoeydonck, Joseph Lacasse and Clive Barker. Lately the gallery has rediscovered 1950s British Abstract Expressionist Frank Avray Wilson, and early 1960s Zero artist Reinhold Koehler. The gallery has been entrusted several Estates, including those of Caziel, Joseph Lacasse and Reinhold Koehler.
