Colnaghi - London - UK

Located in Old Bond Street in the heart of London’s art market, Colnaghi was one of the first galleries to be established in Europe. Colnaghi specialises in Old Master paintings and drawings from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, and its clients include museums and collectors from all over the world. The gallery provides an impressive viewing space and a studious atmosphere for all its visitors – collectors, students and academics alike – where several exhibitions are held annually.
In 2002 the Old Master dealers Konrad Bernheimer and Katrin Bellinger joined forces under the umbrella of Colnaghi in London. Both dealers have long-established galleries in Munich which continue to thrive - Bernheimer Fine Old Masters, renowned for Old Master paintings and Katrin Bellinger Kunsthandel, specializing in Old Master drawings. This partnership has realized many important acquisitions and sales since its inception and continues to maintain Colnaghi’s reputation as one of the pre-eminent international dealerships in Old Masters.
One of the Gallery’s greatest treasures is the comprehensive art reference library, which has been on site at 15 Old Bond Street since the gallery moved to these premises over fifty years ago. The Colnaghi Library covers the history of Western art, focusing particularly on paintings, drawings and prints from the Renaissance through to the nineteenth century. Of particular importance is the Library's vast collection of auction catalogues, which extends back to the mid-eighteenth century. This collection is closely linked to the Colnaghi archives, which systematically document the history of the firm, and the works of art which have passed through it since it's founding in 1760.

Barbara Behan - London - UK

Dedicated to contemporary artists, Barbara Behan opened its doors in 2003 close to Tate Britain in Pimlico. Subsequently, the gallery has established an international platform for an artistic scene that hitherto had been almost completely absent from galleries in London.
The cosmic chaos of Europe's Informale experiences of the 1950s and movements such as Spazialismo, Arte povera and Movimento Nucleare opened up a new artistic language for the decades to follow. Barbara Behan's space has traced the progression of these languages and given voice to some of the most original, emerging and established artists, to contrast and compare generations and artistic experiences whilst paying homage to the artists' historic, cultural and artistic roots.
The gallery's portfolio emphasizes the younger generation of international artists whose focus on existence itself is explored by re-examining issues such as form, time, light, space, colour and surface, or, as in other instances myth, history, politics and science. Widely divergent and individual, all of the artists share a profound concern with contemporary life and culture whilst not forgetting past cultures and the artistic research from whose observation one can only learn in order to progress.
Painting, sculpture, graphic art, photography, video and installations feature in solo exhibitions or thematic group shows, highlighting a particular research of artistic language and/or a common experience of existence and rapport between the protagonists.
The Victorian townhouse extending over three levels has a unique atmosphere and character that gives historic resonance to contemporary works, representing a unique point of reference for collectors and private and public galleries.

For the first ten years of this career, he worked in the paintings’ department of one of the principal London auction houses covering periods from the 15th to early 20th centuries. Towards the end of this period, he was Head of the Paintings Department, responsible for the appraisals, valuations, cataloguing and auctioning of the sales.
John then worked with a well-known London Old Master Paintings’ dealer before setting up his own business in 1986. Initially he worked mainly with 16th to late 18th century British and European paintings but when he took on a gallery in Walton Street, Chelsea, London, in the second half of the 1990’s, he diversified into holding more British Sporting paintings as well as pictures from other periods and of different subject matter.
When the lease on the gallery was near its end, John decided to return to dealing by appointment with his established clients and exhibiting at International Fine Art Fairs such as the prestigious British Antique Dealers’ Association (‘BADA’ of which he is a member) annual Fair in Chelsea, London and the Olympia Fine Art Fairs in Kensington, London.
John Bennett specialises in oil paintings from the 17th, 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries with a large part of his stock being British but also including examples from France and elsewhere in Europe and some by American artists. There is still an emphasis on Sporting paintings but landscapes, marines, 18th century trompe l’oeils, still-lifes, and portraits are also available.

Galerie Pascal Janssens - Gent - BEL

De centrale esthetische visie alsook filosofische achtergrond van de galerie kan in haar kern misschien best als volgt omschreven worden:

de keuze van de kunstenaars in het algemeen, en het oeuvre van de exposerende kunstenaars welke in de galerie zullen tentoonstellen in het bijzonder, zullen in de eerste plaats (zonder woorden, exces of narratief verhaal) voor zich spreken. Globaal genomen zijn het dan de esthetische abstracte vormen, kleuren, licht en materie van het kunstwerk welke de toeschouwer op zich genomen kunnen raken. De esthetische eigenschappen van het creatief kunstobject, veroorzaakt spanning, interesse, intenties van beweging van de toeschouwer naar het verfijnd kunstwerk van de kunstenaar. Dit is terug te vinden in het leitmotiv van de galerie, met name de verwondering van het worden.

De galerie ziet volkomen geen breuklijn tussen hetgeen zich in een zogenaamd lange traditie van de schone kunsten afspeelt en de ingeslagen wegen van haar kunstenaars in een (post)modernere vertaling. Veel van haar kunstenaars hebben bovendien een rijke klassieke vorming, erudiet, delen ruime belangstelling voor andere disciplines als muziek, dichtkunst, geschiedenis, letteren, kosmologie, wetenschappen… De abstracte kunstvormen zijn dan ook weerspiegelingen van doorgaans een verdere evolutie in de ontwikkelingen van de kunstenaar.
Het ordenen, omschrijven in de taal van de kunstenaar zelf biedt uiteraard een meerwaarde, maar het belangrijkste van het kunstobject is in wezen onzegbaar en onuitsprekelijk. De conceptuele denkkaders van de tentoongestelde kunstenaars zijn voornamelijk een gerichtheid op een continue ononderbroken (onafgewerkt) onderzoeken langs verschillende wegen van esthetische mogelijkheden.
In het eerste programmajaar kan deze visie reeds suggestief herkend worden door de verrassende wijze waarbij een kunstenares als Clotilde Ancarani (de kunstenares welke de opening van de kunstgalerij verzorgt) haar observaties van de leefwereld deelt in haar schilderijen, ‘Clotide Ancarani, elle se peint’ zei een commentator; alsook bij het afsluiten van het eerste expositiejaar de kunst van Michael Burges welke aan de hand van kleur -als gekozen onderwerp- onze esthetische ervaringsmogelijkheden op een meer experimenteel niveau onderzoekt, Burges als ‘Science of painting’.
