For several years now, our three organisations, AAB, BAAF and BRUNEAF, have
instituted a dynamic synergy in relation to the June events in Brussels to ensure
their wide international recognition.
With our successful record in this area, and with a view to the many advantages
this may generate in the future, all three associations have decided to join forces
and organise a single event in June, creating this way links between collectors,
building bridges between civilizations and cultures.
It is in that spirit that we are very pleased to present CULTURES – The World
Arts Fair.
CULTURES – The World Arts Fair will soon become a global reference for seasoned
collectors as well as amateurs interested in Asian, ancient and non-European art.
A simple and ingenious colour code will be used to identify exhibitors and their
respective specialities.
Our enthusiasm is as great as ever and more than ever we will endeavour to turn
Brussels into THE venue for the classical arts.
Enjoy your visit!

Depuis plusieurs années, les trois associations AAB, BAAF et BRUNEAF ont
instauré une synergie dynamique autour des événements bruxellois du mois
de juin et fait en sorte que ceux-ci aient un grand retentissement international.
Fortes des succès de ces dernières éditions, et conscientes des nombreux
avantages que ceci pourra représenter dans le futur, nos trois associations ont
décidé d’unir leurs forces et d’organiser un seul événement au mois de juin,
créant de la sorte des liens entre collectionneurs, des ponts entre les civilisations
et les cultures.
C’est dans cet esprit que nous sommes très heureux de vous présenter
CULTURES – The World Arts Fair.
CULTURES – The World Arts Fair deviendra rapidement une référence mondiale
pour les collectionneurs avertis et les amateurs curieux intéressés par les arts
asiatiques, antiques et non-européens. Un ingénieux système de couleurs
permettra à tous de distinguer chaque exposant et d’identifier avec facilité sa
spécialité.
Vous l’aurez constaté, notre enthousiasme est intact et notre volonté de faire de
Bruxelles LA place des arts classiques encore plus grande.
Bonne visite à tous !

De verenigingen AAB, BAAF en BRUNEAF werken al verschillende jaren op
dynamische wijze samen om de Brusselse evenementen van de maand juni een
onbetwistbare internationale weerklank te geven.
Gezien het succes van de jongste edities, en in het besef dat dit in de toekomst
vele voordelen kan meebrengen, hebben de drie verenigingen beslist om hun
krachten te bundelen en in de maand juni een enkel evenement te organiseren.
Zo hopen wij een nog betere band te smeden tussen de verzamelaars onderling
en bruggen te bouwen tussen verschillende beschavingen en culturen.
Het is in deze context dat wij u CULTURES – The World Arts Fair kunnen voorstellen.
CULTURES – The World Arts Fair zal snel een wereldwijde referentie worden voor
ervaren verzamelaars en nieuwsgierige liefhebbers van oudheden, Aziatische en
niet-Europese kunsten. Aan de hand van een eenvoudig en vernuftig kleuren
systeem zal het publiek elke exposant kunnen onderscheiden en met gemak zijn
of haar specialiteit herkennen.
U merkt het: wij zijn nog even enthousiast en vastberadener dan ooit om van
Brussel HÉT centrum van de klassieke kunsten te maken.
We wensen jullie alvast een aangenaam bezoek!

Whispering Woods...
Serge Schoffel – ART PREMIER gallery was
appointed this year as curator of the June
BRUNEAF 2016 exhibition on the great Lobi
statuary.
The exhibition will take place at the Ancienne
Nonciature at the Grand Sablon throughout
the event duration. It gathers some of the
most powerful artworks from the François and
Marie Christiaens Collection, one of the most
important collection of Lobi art in the world.
These great wooden statues “which whisper
undefined words” - as the Lobi refer to them have sometimes unfairly been regarded as a
minor genre among the arts of Africa.
The exhibition Whispering Wood – Great Lobi
Statuary intends to render this art the status it
deserves among its peers, and to magnify the
master craftsmanship of the Lobi sculptors.
The catalogue which will be published for the
occasion proposes a scientific and typological
comment on these artworks, illustrated with
many photographs.

Bernard de Grunne - Tribal Fine Arts
presents
Ancient Medieval Mande Treasures:
The Soninke Wooden Statuary
The Djenné-Jeno Terracotta
and Bronze Statuary from Mali
Exhibition from 8-12 June 2016
Under BRUNEAF aegis
at Ancienne Nonciature, 7 rue des Sablons - Grand Sablon – Brussels
On the occasion of its 26th edition, BRUNEAF will
partner with Bernard de Grunne to curate a major
exhibition of 27 exceptional objects from the
ancient cultures of the middle Niger in Mali. For
the first time since 1990, a remarkable group of 16
ancient terracotta figures from Djenné-Jeno and 2
remarkable bronze statuettes from the same culture
will dialogue with 9 wooden figures dating from
the 10th to the 15th century and carved by various
Soninke artists. The aim of such an exhibition is
to show the fascinating time depth of the ancient
cultures of medieval Mali.
The Mande oikumene is a conceptual framework as
strong and diverse as the original Greek meaning of
a “civilized” world and whose centre of gravity can
be said to be in Mali.
Among the peaks of the artistic achievements which
flourished from the Mande world, we have the
“Sudanese” architectural style, a fusion of Islamic
architecture with the imagery and iconography of
ancestral pillars, altars and shrines, the highly valued
body of oral literature narrated by professional poets
and bards, the artistic flourishing of two remarkable
artistic styles, one in clay and one in wood, created
by Mande blacksmiths as great achievements
emerging from the Mande oikumene.
The Inland Niger Delta region in Mali played a crucial
role in the ancient Art History of West Africa.
Earth found in the Inland Niger Delta is famous for
its quality. It is the medium used for two of the most
spectacular art styles of West Africa. The Islamic
city of Jenne represents the quintessence of the
widespread Sudanese architectural style in earth.
Clay is also the medium of the ancient statuary of
the Inland Niger Delta, one of the most elegant,
sophisticated and ancient art styles of Africa. The
ancient terracotta Djenné-jeno statuary from the
Inland Niger Delta emerged in the early second
millennium A.D. It is made of a remarkable variety
of human figurines represented in sixty-six different
sacred postures, making it the single richest source
on religious gestures in Africa.
Another extremely sophisticated and ancient
Mande-originated artistic tradition is that all the
Soninke statues in wood datingfrom circa A.D. 1000
to A.D. 1450.
More research of these Mande-originated
Soninke styles will allow us to better understand
the art history of many Mande-related art styles
in West Africa. The existence of the ancient
corpus of wooden, bronze and terracotta statuary
from the Bandiagara Cliff and the Inland Niger Delta
forces us to re-evaluate the notion of art styles
invented independently and may provide new and
unexpected connections between different regions
and their art forms in West Africa.

Buddhist initiation paintings of the Yuan period (1271-1368) in the
sino-Himalayan style, by Jane Casey (Friday 10 June at 4pm)
The lecture examines a group of small initiation paintings, rare surviving
examples of a Himalayan-inspired school of art that flourished at the
Chinese Yuan court. The style combines Tibetan Buddhist iconography
and mid-thirteenth century Nepalese painting traditions with elements
of style—notably textile and costume design—that are demonstrably
Yuan Chinese.
Two paintings in the group portray a Yuan Mongol ruler and a Tibetan
Buddhist hierarch. The lecture explores some of the evidence to support
the attribution of these paintings to the Yuan period and possibly to the
Yuan Court.
Jane Casey is an art historian specialising in Himalayan art. She was co-curator of “Sacred Visions: Early Paintings from Central Tibet” organised in 1998 by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and is author of
many books and articles on the art of the Himalayas, including The Sculptural Heritage of Tibet: Buddhist Art
in the Nyingjei Lam Collection (London, 1999, with David Weldon).
pagan, between india and china, by Claudine Bautze-Picron
(Saturday 11 June at 4pm)
The pictorial art of Pagan offers a wide spectrum of aspects
which reflect the internationality of the city and its region from
the eleventh up to the early fourteenth century. The iconography depicted in the temples mainly traces its sources in the art
of ‘Eastern India’ (Indian States of Bihar and West Bengal;
Bangladesh) and illustrates the official Buddhist language. It differentiates itself deeply from the ornamental decoration which
allows more freedom to the artists and fills all space let free by
the iconographic program, acting as a frame to it and giving to the architectural structure its meaning as
image of the cosmos. The painters drew here at first their inspiration from nearby India but thirteenthcentury murals clearly evidence the impact of Chinese ornamentation of the Yuan and even earlier Northern Song dynasties which must have reached Pagan with the import of porcelain and garments.
Claudine Bautze-Picron is research fellow at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris (UMR
7528 « Mondes Iranien et Indien ») and teaches Indian art history at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. Her research focuses on the art of Eastern India and Bangladesh and the murals of Bagan (Burma). Among her
recent publications, see: The Buddhist Murals of Pagan, Timeless vistas of the cosmos (Bangkok, 2003), The
Bejewelled Buddha from India to Burma, New Considerations (New Delhi/Kolkata, 2010) and The forgotten
Place, Stone Sculpture at Kurkihar (New Delhi, 2014).

of
collecting ancient art, an old tradition under attack, by Vincent Geerling (Friday 10 June at 5pm)
Today, a lot of archaeological sites are in danger, especially in zones of conflict. We are confronted with reports in the media about the illegal trade in cultural objects being a multi-billion $ business. We are to believe that truckloads of looted objects are entering Europe. We see television reports with undercover
journalists in dark basements, being shown a cache of “antiquities” valued at millions of $. Collectors get
the blame, the trade is under attack.
Unfortunately, newspapers are just copying each other, they tend to “forget” to check to the primary
source of information, as a good journalist always should do. IADAA has put a lot of effort in following all
the stories back to their primary source. The results, which will be shown during the lecture, reveal that
there is no evidence for any of the claims.
Vincent Geerling is chairman of the International Association of Dealers in Ancient Art (IADAA), director of
Archea Ancient Art gallery in Amsterdam
“i have reached the sky as a grasshopper...”
the role and the meaning of the grasshopper in ancient egypt
by Jan Koek
(Saturday 11 June at 3pm)
The lecture will first consider the zoological characteristics of the grasshopper. Then the speaker will provide an overview of the grasshopper in ancient Egypt in texts and on pictures.
Thereafter we will try to answer the following questions:
- Did the ancient Egyptians consider the grasshoppers as a plague?
- Why are some objects, such as amulets, oil lamps, scarabs, toilet boxes, necklaces and
bracelets, decorated with grasshoppers?
- Had the grasshopper a religious meaning in ancient Egypt?
Jan Koek is Chairman of Mehen, Studycentre of ancient Egypt (www.mehen.nl).
For more than 25 years already, he guides special tours to Egypt and to Egyptian museum collections all over
the world and gives lectures and courses about ancient Egypt. He is treasurer of the Theban Mountains
Foundation.

“MEHEN, STUDIECENTRUM VOOR HET OUDE EGYPTE”
Wie of wat is ‘’Mehen’’?
Mehen, Studiecentrum voor het oude Egypte, opgericht
door Bep Koek-Overvest en Jan Koek, is een zelfstandige
stichting die geen winstoogmerk heeft. Het studiecentrum
ontplooit allerlei activiteiten die er met name op gericht
zijn om de kennis over het faraonische Egypte te verspreiden aan iedereen die hier belangstelling voor heeft.
Uit de opbrengsten van deze activiteiten ondersteunt
Mehen de studie over het oude Egypte, o.a. met de Mehenscriptieprijs voor Egyptologie. Als u deze doelstelling wilt
ondersteunen, wordt dan donateur van Mehen voor minimaal € 25,– per jaar. Echtparen betalen € 35,– per jaar.
Donateurs krijgen korting op de meeste activiteiten van
Mehen en hebben gratis toegang tot de jaarlijkse Mehendag. Het bankrekeningnummer is 67.19.36.387 t.n.v.
B.J. Koek-Overvest e/o J.G. Koek te Elst (U).
De activiteiten bestaan uit lezingen, cursussen, studiedagen
en reizen. Sinds 1991 hebben Bep en Jan Koek succesvolle
(thema)reizen georganiseerd naar Egypte en naar vele egyptologische collecties in musea in Europa en de Verenigde
Staten van Amerika. Ook verzorgt Mehen al ruim twintig
jaar lezingen over het oude Egypte met onderwerpen op
allerlei gebied, met als specialisme de religie van de oude
Egyptenaren.
Wilt u een lezing op maat of een reis naar eigen wens, ook
voor kleine groepen, laten organiseren? Neemt u dan eens
contact op met ‘’Mehen, Studiecentrum voor het oude
Egypte’’.
Wat betekent ‘’Mehen’’?
168
De naam Mehen betekent ‘’De Gekronkelde’’ en is een
reusachtige slang. Al vanaf de predynastieke tijd is het
Mehenspel bekend (zie foto). Het was niet alleen een spel,
maar het Mehenspel was in het Oude Rijk ook een hulpmiddel om herboren te worden. Vanaf het 7e uur in het
zogenoemde onderwereldboek ‘’het Amdoeat’’ (vanaf het
Nieuwe Rijk) kronkelt Mehen om de kajuit van de zonnebark van Ra (zie het logo). Mehen beschermt de zonnegod
tegen allerlei gevaren op zijn tocht door het hiernamaals,
het werkgebied van Mehen. Hopelijk strekt Mehen zijn
bescherming ook uit over het studiecentrum en allen die
deelnemen aan de (studie)reis door het oude Egypte.

The centre for Asian Art in the Dr Helga Wall-Apelt
Gallery of Asian Art at the Ringling Museum is
opening on 20 February. The Ringling‘s position
within the world’s museums with Asian holdings is
fast on the rise. Even though Mabel and John
Ringling did collect Asian material, mainly blanc de
chine ceramics in the 1920s, the museum took a new
turn in 2001 with the remarkable gift of the collection
of Ira and Nancy Koger of over 400 pieces of Chinese
ceramics. This was the beginning of a concerted effort
to expand its Asian holdings. This was boosted
enormously in the highly substantial gift from
Dr Helga Wall-Apelt to pay for a wing for Asian art
and a curatorial position, now filled by Dr Fan Zhang.

IN DECEMBER, a second branch
of the National Palace Museum in
Taipei, Taiwan, was opened in the
southern city of Chiayi. The main
museum is considered to be one of the
most popular museums in the world,
receiving more than five million
visitors every year. The spectacular
new museum spans over 9,000 square
metres and aims to show a selection of
some of China’s most valuable
historical works of art. Designed by
Taiwanese architect Kris Yao, the new
museum’s two stretched, curved
buildings include huge walls of glass
and are emblazoned with dragons and
clouds. The Taiwanese government
hopes this latest opening will entice
more visitors to the rural south in
search of cultural experiences.
The main museum in Taipei has a
collection of more than 696,000
objects spanning 7,000 years from the
prehistoric to the end of the Qing
dynasty (1644-1912). The National
Palace Museum in Beijing was
officially open on 10 October, 1925,
allowing members of the public to
admire many of the palace cultural
relics for the first time. Many of these
artefacts were then removed from the
Beijing Palace Museum in the 1920s
by China’s Nationalist government to
prevent them falling into the hands of
invading Japanese troops. By 1934,
the collection was on the move south
and five groups of artefacts totalling
19,557 crates were relocated,
including the 6,066 crates of objects
from the Exhibition Office of Ancient
Artefacts, the Yiheyuan and the
Hanlin Yuan Imperial Academy. The
collection was then transported to
Taiwan by the Nationalists after they
were defeated by Chinese communist
forces and fled the mainland for the
Taiwan at the end of 1948/49. The
first group of crates were taken by the
navy from Nanjing, arriving in
Keelung at the end of 1948; the
second and third groups of crates also
arrived the following year. A total of
2,972 crates were shipped and while
these only accounted for only 22% of
In December 2015, the new branch of the National Palace Museum opened in the southern city of Chiayi, southern Taiwan
the items originally transported south
from Beijing, these pieces now
represent the cream of the museum’s
collections. Some of these prized
artefacts from the Taipei museum are
now to be displayed in Chiayi for the
inaugural few months of the new
museum, including the amazingly
popular ‘jadeite cabbage’ sculpture,
created in the 19th century by an
unknown artist. The cabbage head
with a locust and cricket camouflaged
in its leaves has become a great
favourite and ‘must-see’ with visitors
and is seen as an auspicious symbol of
fertility. Permanent displays at the
news in brief
museum include Buddhist artefacts,
Asian textiles and tea culture displays,
Islamic jades and blue-and-white
porcelain from the Ming dynasty. ‘We
hope to attract up to 1.5 million
visitors in the first year,’ commented
Feng Ming-chu, director of both the
Taipei and Chiayi museums.

The National Museum Bangkok’s
Siwamokkhaphiman building has reopened after a
year and a half of renovation work with its inaugral
exhibition exploring Thai history. Objects from
Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, as well as the Thonburi and
early Rattanakosin eras are on view in an entirely
redesigned interior to make the exhibition more open.
The government’s Fine Arts Department is in charge
of the restoration of all the buildings in the compound
of the former Wang Na Palace, which dates to 1782,
the same period the Grand Palace was erected. The
Siwamokkhaphiman has been the residence of five
viceroys prior to the reign of King Rama V.
Two other buildings in the compound are currently
being restored with an aim to completing the project
in six years.
Baht 25 million was spent renovating the roof, walls,
ceiling and gables and installing new lighting that
makes the facility more inviting, a place where you
want to linger. There are 111 Buddhist sculptures on
display spanning 10,000 years, ranging from prehistory through the Dvaravati, Srivijaya, Lopburi,
Lanna, Sukhothai and Ayutthaya periods to the early
Rattanakosin. The museum is open Wednesday to
Sunday 9am to 4pm.
