Renowned as the oldest gallery in Brussels, the gallery Baronian celebrated its fiftieth year of activity in 2023.  Albert continues his eclectic and sensitive exhibition programme, with the same passion that has carried him since his beginnings, and supported by the contribution of Roland de Lathuy, who is in charge of Private Sales at the gallery.

Albert Baronian opened his first gallery in 1973 and immediately enjoyed international success thanks to the presentation of Arte Povera artists Alighiero e Boetti, Mario Merz, Giulio Paolini, Gilberto Zorio. Later, as the president of the Galleries’ Association, the Brussels Art fair took a more international turn whilst under his direction. He sees the responsibility of the gallery as three folds: to work for the long term development of each artists’ career, acting as a liaison to international galleries and museums as well as placing works in collections; to create an historical archive for each artist; and to act as an accessible public space in which the exhibitions become an exemplary gesture of the power of subjectivity to the audience at large. The program is dedicated to contemporary art as well as important artistic movements and artists that have defined the last fifty years.

At the end of 2024, the gallery will close its doors after a 51-year existence.
