128 galleries are exhibiting at the BRAFA Art Fair this year. The fair is thus back at the level it was before the Corona pandemic. From 29 January to 5 February 2023, exhibitors will present modern and contemporary art, antiques and design objects. Representatives from 15 countries (apart from Japan and the United Arab Emirates, mainly Central European ones) will show a total of more than 10,000 objects. The fair takes place at its traditional venue in the halls of the Brussels Expo in the immediate vicinity of the Atomium, Brussels' landmark.

For its 68th edition, the art fair maintains its high standards. Every single object is examined beforehand by an international panel of experts. BRAFA is known for its strict selection process, through which they want to guarantee high quality to collectors. Besides modern and contemporary art, pre-Columbian art, medieval sculptures and paintings, jewellery, coins, furniture, rare books and original comics are also offered.Art.Salon
