Fairs in focus
Brussels Art Walk 17–20 February
Various venues, Brussels
With BRAFA postponed until the summer, the fair’s participants have banded together for this initiative, which sees galleries – predominantly Belgian, but including seven from Paris and Finch & Co from London – hosting events and exhibitions across the city. Highlights include the exhibition ‘Man-made: Art & Industry in Fin-de-siècle Belgium’ at Thomas Deprez; pictured is a pewter candelabra by Art Nouveau sculptor Paul Du Bois (Fig. ).
Florida’s leading antiques fair returns with its usual eclectic range of fine and decorative arts and jewellery, ranging from antiquity to the present. Highlights include a Parisian street scene by Pierre Bonnard, courtesy of Waterhouse & Dodd, in which stylishly dressed women bustle around the Place Clichy, while Koopman Rare Art offers a Cartier brooch, adorned with a diamond unicorn adapted from the tapestries.
