Colnaghi is excited to celebrate the opening of its new gallery space in Brussels at 30 rue Jacques Jordaens. We will inaugurate the new space on the 23rd of April 2025 with an exhibition titled “STUDIO”, a playful exploration spotlighting both artists at work in their studios and the study conducted by Colnaghi during its important artistic rediscoveries.
To mark the occasion, Colnaghi will unveil an important recent rediscovery made by the gallery, the Triumph of Minerva by Jacob Jordaens, the 17th-century Flemish master and namesake of the gallery’s new address. The work, rediscovered by Colnaghi after decades of absence from public view, is widely recognised to be an important study for a large, now lost composition by Jordaens. A series of nine photographs by Douglas Duncan of Pablo Picasso at work in his studio will complement the “STUDIO” theme, giving an intimate perspective into the artist’s creative practice.
The opening will take place from 5pm to 9pm on Wednesday the 23rd of April 2025, serving drinks and light refreshments. After the opening, the gallery on Rue Jacques Jordaens will operate by appointment, offering Colnaghi’s excellent selection of Old Master paintings, drawings, and invaluable Antiquities. The STUDIO exhibition will run until the 30th of May 2025.
