About KETELEER GALLERY
KETELEER GALLERY opened its doors in 2012 at the Leopoldstraat, Antwerp, Belgium. The following 7 years it organically evolved into a family driven business in which a dynamic and open contact with the local and international artworld became its core focus while honouring Belgium’s rich art history. The familial character is translated in a warm and open environment lowering the threshold to offer a refreshing experience to the broadest possible audience.
In September 2019, KETELEER GALLERY moved to a new space at the Pourbusstraat, in ‘The South’ of Antwerp. Centrally located between the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, the M HKA, the Photo Museum and ‘The New South’, this location is a symbol for new collaborations and the joining of both young and established, forgotten and world famous, off-center and leading Belgian and international artists.
October, 2019, BREMDONCK, a new gallery space was inaugurated in the middle of the Peerdsbos forest of Brasschaat. In this unique setting, the interaction between man, art and nature sets the tone. A 14th century farmhouse was completely renovated, saving it from ruin, to create a history-laden backdrop for site-complementary exhibitions while the surrounding nature offers the opportunity to explore a continuously evolving sculpture garden.
December 2019, a new collaboration with Deweer Gallery was officially announced: KETELEER GALLERY took on the main representation of Deweer’s active artists and The Deweer Estate, consisting of the entire Deweer Gallery collection. Operating as a close partnership with Gerald and Bart Deweer, this latest venture is a conscious step towards the future, in keeping with the gallery’s international aspirations.
October 2020, KETELEER GALLERY opened its 3rd gallery space in the historical buildings of Deweer Gallery. 'Platform 6a' is a unique new project by Deweer Gallery Estate. The empty spaces of the former Deweer Gallery are re-activated to create a brand new platform for artists and collectors. KETELEER GALLERY took on ‘room 3’ to curate a minimum of 2 major exhibitions per year, consisting of a selection of works from its own program and from the Deweer Gallery Estate.
