Tim Van Laere Gallery - The First 30 Years

This book, published on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of Tim Van Laere Gallery, brings together three decades of exhibitions, artists, and artistic developments. From the perspective of the gallery and the artists who have shaped its history, the publication explores the growth and evolution of one of Belgium’s leading contemporary art galleries.

Since its founding in 1997, Tim Van Laere Gallery has been guided by a strong vision as an artists’ gallery: a gallery that always puts artists first and creates an environment in which artists meet, support one another, and remain in dialogue with each other. What began as a young gallery in Antwerp has grown into an international platform with a distinct identity and a program that brings together different generations and artistic disciplines.

At the heart of the publication is a broad selection of exhibitions that have shaped the gallery’s history. The book is not only a retrospective of thirty years of Tim Van Laere Gallery, but also a document of the relationships and collaborations that have shaped the gallery over the years. It brings together artists, exhibitions, and key moments from the gallery’s history, providing an extensive overview of its development and enduring ambition.
