ABOUT

The Serge Schoffel - Art Premier Gallery, based in Brussels, has been established in the Sablon district since 2003 and is specialized in fine tribal arts from sub-Saharan Africa, Oceania, Southeast Asia and the Americas for over thirty years. It participates in numerous local, national and international fairs and has acquired a solid reputation for the excellence of the works presented, supported by an ever-renewed desire to promote both sculptures of a very high level as well as refined ethnographic objects. The gallery organizes each year one or several beautiful thematic exhibitions systematically accompanied by a rich, deeply documented art catalog in French and English, inviting specialists to write and relying on what is undoubtedly one of the richest private libraries in Belgium in the field of extra-european arts. The titles that have been published are the following:

• Les bâtons Chocós (2012)

• Masques Bété (2013)

• Vodoun Fon, Entre Art et Matière (2014)

• Joseph Henrion (2015)
