Paris dealer Xavier Eeckhout has been showing at BRAFA for seven years. He specialises in animalier sculpture at his right-bank gallery on the rue de la Grange Batalière and admits to a particular fascination with works by sculptors of the Antwerp School.
“It gathered together around 70 sculptors working around Rembrandt Bugatti at Antwerp Zoo and to my mind is still under appreciated,” says Eeckhout.
Appropriately for a Belgian fair, he will be highlighting works by these artists on his stand at BRAFA this year where those featured include Albéric Collin, Raymond de Meester and Raoul Eugène Lamourdedieu.
