Lancz Gallery

It was in the Sablon district of Brussels that Patrick Lancz opened his first gallery in 1991. A fervent admirer of the Belgian School, which covers the Symbolist, Impressionist and Fauvist period of the years 1890-1930, he also specializes in Belgian avant-garde of the 1920s and the abstraction of the 1950s-1970s. Patrick Lancz organizes two to three exhibitions a year with the ambition of offering a varied range of artists whose works offer a harmony of techniques and colors. These are sublimated by an old frame chosen with care. The rest of the year, the picture rails of the gallery host various sets that change with the seasons.

The gallery's clientele includes both private and public buyers such as the Musée d'Ixelles, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Brussels, the Musée d'Orsay and many international collectors. Patrick Lancz also participates in various fairs including the Salon du Dessin, Fine Arts Paris & La Biennale, Antica Brussels and Ceramic Brussels. The aim is to promote the wealth of Belgian art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries in all its forms: drawing, painting, sculpture and ceramics. We present the work of many artists such as Firmin Baes, Arthur Craco, Marthe Donas, Félicien Rops, Walter Sauer, Mig Quinet, Léon Spilliaert, Théo Van Rysselberghe and many others. The Lancz Gallery therefore wishes to arouse the curiosity of art lovers and offer them a place of discovery.
