Xavier Hufkens

[2] During the late 1980s, Franz Erhard Walther showed with Hufkens, as did British sculptor Antony Gormley,[3] whom the gallery continues to represent.

[4] The move was not an obvious one at the time: the Belgian art world still revolved around Antwerp,[5] while the Brussels galleries tended to be based in the up-and-coming districts around the canals or along the fashionable Antoine Dansaertstraat.

This expanded exhibition programme coincided with the additional representation of a number of established artists from Belgium and abroad, including Richard Artschwager, Roni Horn, and Jan Vercruysse.

[10] Based in a commercial shopping centre dating back to the mid-1970s, the space was converted into a gallery by Swiss architect Harry Gugger.

The gallery continued to expand its roster with artists such as Tracey Emin,[11] Paul McCarthy, Walter Swennen, Sherrie Levine,[12] Nicolas Party,[13] Zhang Enli and the Estate of Alice Neel.

[16] In recent years, artists of multiple generations have joined the gallery’s roster, such as Lynda Benglis,[17] Huma Bhabha,[18] McArthur Binion,[19] Joe Bradley[20] and Sayre Gomez.
