阿塞尔维伍德画廊 Axel Vervoordt Gallery

鲍尔斯在2011年创立了阿塞尔维伍德画廊。画廊开在安特卫普市中心的老城区，首展艺术家是刚瑟·尤克（Günther Uecker）。在70年代，阿塞尔也曾在此为尤克和杰夫·费尔海恩（Jef Verheyen）开个展；鲍尔斯特意为画廊选择了同样的地址。画廊的首次展览和其后的诸多艺术展都与公司古巷弄时期的历史遥相呼应。画廊的成立，标志着公司在其后四十年里与艺术家们紧密合作的开始。

公司始终孜孜不倦地通过艺术了解世界、汲取知识。

2014年，画廊走进亚洲，在香港市中心的娱乐行开设了分画廊。

2017年，安特卫普画廊搬迁至运河区的新址，以白发一雄的纪念展作为开幕。

画廊早期设有专门的战后及当代艺术展区，主推欧洲、日本、韩国的艺术家，尤其是零派和具体派艺术运动的作品。随后，画廊又做了单色画专题。画廊的展品声名远扬，在全球艺术展中开始显山露水，馆藏也日益丰富。

艺术带来愉悦和无限灵感。艺术家迫使我们采取全新的方式看待世界。泰特、古根海姆这类知名美术馆本身就代表着对馆藏艺术品的肯定；此外，美术馆洋溢着对求知的热忱，在这样的环境里，普罗大众都能体会艺术之美。

Boris created the Axel Vervoordt Gallery in 2011. The gallery opened in a historic space in the centre of Antwerp with an exhibition by Günther Uecker. Boris chose to open the gallery in the same exact place where his father had mounted exhibitions for Uecker and Jef Verheyen in the 1970s. The first exhibition — and those that followed — linked this new start to the company’s long history with art and its original home in the Vlaeykensgang. This continued a path of more than 40 years of working closely with artists.

Our company has always followed a path of discovery and knowledge through art.

The gallery expanded to Asia in 2014 with a space in central Hong Kong in the Entertainment Building.

In 2017, the Antwerp gallery moved to a new space at Kanaal, opening with a monumental retrospective of Kazuo Shiraga.

The gallery’s early program included a specialty in post-war and contemporary art with a specific focus on art from Europe, Japan, and Korea, particularly art from the ZERO and Gutai movements. An emphasis on Dansaekhwa followed, as the gallery’s program and participation in global art fairs grew in prominence and its roster of artists expanded.

Art offers joy and endless inspiration. Artists force us to look at the world in new ways. Seeing works by gallery artists in in major institutions—like the Tate and Guggenheim—is validating, but even more, it ensures that they will be shared with a wide audience in the context of passionate scholarship.
