Vision

Collaboration

Gallery Sofie Van de Velde, located in Antwerp, stands for entrepreneurship in art. Through the participation in art fairs and exhibitions, the gallery focuses on representing artists in a strong international network. Together with the artist, a process is defined to bring the body of work to a new level. Moving away from a conventional competition-minded gallery model, Sofie Van de Velde’s philosophy is one of collaboration and shared opportunities and networks.
Art Integration

Through active use of its international network, Gallery Sofie Van de Velde continuously seeks opportunities to integrate art in the city and in the public space. The bringing together of artists and projects in a broader context is part of the gallery’s entrepreneurial view on art, and endorses the belief that a dialogue between the city and the contemporary art scene is mutually beneficial.

In doing so, the gallery works with three distinct groups of artists: young artists who bring fresh perspectives and innovation to the contemporary art world; mid-career artists, whose evolving practices contribute significantly to the cultural dialogue; and artist estates, preserving and promoting the legacies of historical artists. This holistic approach ensures support at every stage of an artist's journey while celebrating the enduring relevance of past artistic achievements.
Estates

As a consequence of a deep affection for certain oeuvres, Gallery Sofie Van de Velde also supports and manages several artist estates. In close collaboration with the family of the deceased artist, the gallery offers structural and visionary support when necessary. In doing so, it protects the oeuvre and allows it to grow gradually in a broad and international context.

Currently Gallery Sofie Van de Velde manages the artist estates of Ilse D'Hollander, Guy Mees, Charlotte Posenenske, Roger Raveel and Bernd Lohaus.

Gallery Sofie Van de Velde occasionally opts for the inclusion of earlier works in exhibitions. Bringing twentieth century works together with contemporary pieces, is a way of proving they haven’t lost any of their relevance. Structurally supporting artist estates is another one.
