Callewaert Vanlangendonck Gallery is a Belgian art gallery for abstract art in Antwerp. It was founded in 2012 by Yoeri Vanlangendonck and Brecht Callewaert in the Wolstraat in Antwerp. In 2013 a second space opened in the same street. In 2017, the gallery expanded with a 17th-century building in the Antwerp university area, renovated by architects Rolies + Dubois and opened by Minister of Culture Sven Gatz and university Rector Herman Van Goethem.[1][2]
Artists such as Guy Vandenbranden,[3] Paul Van Hoeydonck,[4] Pol Bury, Michel Seuphor, Jan Dries, Jan Cox, Mark Verstockt and Gilbert Swimberghe exhibited at the gallery.[5] In addition to exhibiting the work of abstract artists from the fifties and sixties, the gallery also represents the estate of Guy Vandenbranden and manages its artists' archive. The gallery also collaborates with contemporary artists such as Koen van den Broek, Guillaume Bijl, Timothy Segers, Jef Meyer and Boy & Erik Stappaerts.
