Maurice Verbaet Gallery

Belgium, Knokke-Zoute

The Maurice Verbaet Gallery is primarily dedicated to Belgian postwar art. It strives to help forgotten Belgian postwar artists worth (re)discovering to rightfully reclaim the spotlight as well as to further promote their better-known peers. Under the supervision of Maurice Verbaet, a team of professionals manages the preservation, conservation, investigation and display of the collection. This collection features thousands of top pieces by various Belgian artists. Representative of ‘Les Trentes Glorieuses’, the period between 1945 and 1975 during which Belgian art once again thrived, it is the most extensive collection in its genre. A handful of carefully-chosen more recent works form the perfect complement to this predominantly postwar ensemble.
