Art Brussels is a contemporary art fair that takes place in Tour & Taxis in Brussels, Europe’s most upcoming and exciting art city.

The 2016 edition brings together 140 galleries from 28 countries in three main sections. The International Committee and Discovery Committees have selected 31 newcomers in the fair. A new section, REDISCOVERY, which plays a significant role in the development of the fair’s existing ‘discovery profile’, will feature 15 galleries. It will be dedicated to art from the period between 1917 and 1987 and present important artists from the historical avant‐garde that have been under‐estimated, overlooked, or unduly forgotten. REDISCOVERY will also feature works by artists such as Roy DeCarava, Bob Law, Barbara & Michael Leisgen, Véra Molnar, Yuko Nasaka and Eduardo Terrazas, building a bridge between artistic practices of the present to those of the past.

PRIME will comprise 98 established galleries representing internationally established artists. Newcomers to the section include Pace Gallery (London), Galerie Peter Kilchmann (Zurich) and Ben Brown Fine Arts (London). Returning galleries include Xavier Hufkens (Brussels), Bernier/Eliades (Athens), Galleria Continua (San Gimignano, Beijing, Les Moulins and Havana), Almine Rech (Paris, Brussels and London), Nathalie Obadia (Paris, Brussels), Axel Vervoordt (Antwerp, Hong Kong), Marlborough Contemporary (London) and Waddington Custot Galleries (London).

DISCOVERY will feature 30 galleries representing emerging artists whose work is not yet known to a wider public, including galleries such as KOW (Berlin), Barbara Seiler (Zurich) and Green Art Gallery (Dubai). For the first time this section will present booths by Temnikova & Kasela (Tallinn), Ellis King (Dublin), Château Shatto (Los Angeles), The Sunday Painter and Arcade (London), àngels (Barcelona), Document Art Gallery (Buenos Aires) and General Store (Australia) amongst others.
