Henry Van de Velde (1863-1957)

A sleeping beauty has awakened in Brussels' Saint-Gilles district. Closed since 2014, the Hannon House, a showcase of Franco-Belgian Art Nouveau, is reopening as a house-museum.

A work by Chu Teh-Chun stood out in a rigorous selection where abstraction triumphed.

Two artists shared the spotlight at this contemporary art sale in Neuilly: one with his simplicity, the other with his play with codes.

The most Parisian of Dutch artists, Van Dongen left high society for a moment to concentrate on two little girls.

Two days were devoted to a sale evoking modern and contemporary sensibilities, from the transcendence of the Dutch master to the imagination of Picasso and the energy of street art.

The auction of this view of Montmartre was beset by a series of human and technological errors.

In March 1886, the Dutch painter arrived in Paris, where he lived for two years. One hundred and thirty-five years later to the month, a key work from this seminal and productive period is back on the market.

Around the time of the first edition of the Paris Print Fair, the print market shows its good health with the prizes won by a collection.

The meeting between the painter and Dr. Gachet was brief but crucial to the history of art, as this etching attests.

Whirlwind forces blowing over modern painting shot this painting by Chaïm Soutine over the million mark. Bram Van Velde (1895-1981) was also wafted aloft on the wings of success, and set a world record.
