In the early 1980s, as a young art student in the circles of the theatre group ‘Horse + Bamboo’, she met Dutch artist Adriaan Krabbendam. A platonic relationship and especially intense correspondence unfolds between these two searching souls. Emin, then ‘Traci’, illustrates her letters, cards and envelopes with monotypes, woodcuts, watercolours…. The tone is glowing, yearning, but always poetic in tone, even as she recounts the simple events of her life. In this very intense period of her life, just before her admission to the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and her breakthrough on the international stage, we follow an artist who is searching very hard to find her own way, using Krabbendam and especially their correspondence\/contact as an outlet and touchboard to help the often high emotions find their trajectory.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”16959″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”justify”]The absolute highlight of the collection is a unique artist’s book, ‘Sketchbook<\/a>‘ from 1984 that contains no fewer than seven monotypes and whose front and back covers are illustrated with original drawings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”16956″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][vc_column_text el_class=”justify”]During the April auction, Bernaerts will also bring the archive of Andr\u00e9 de Ridder (1888 – 1961) under the hammer. Among the general public, his name will ring fewer bells than that of his associate<\/em> Paul-Gustave van Hecke.<\/p>\n

De Ridder, born and raised in Antwerp and trained as an economist, will make his first modest name as an essayist on Flemish literature. Among other things, he will write a very early monograph on Stijn Streuvels (1907) and will help strengthen the ranks of literary magazines such as ‘Vlaamsche Arbeid’ and ‘De Boomgaard’, among others. It is during this period that he becomes acquainted with Van Hecke, and the friendship will remain intact until De Ridder’s death in 1961.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”16988″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”justify”]What both men are most praised for to this day is the establishment in the early 1920s of the gallery and the eponymous magazine ‘S\u00e9lection’. Where Van Hecke will be the face of the magazine and the gallery, De Ridder will be the silent force behind the scenes. In the meantime, he was also appointed professor of statistics and finance at the Rijksuniversiteit in Ghent, and the Rijkshandelshogeschool and the Koloniale Hogeschool in Antwerp. From that period, we offer, among other things, L\u00e9on Spilliaert<\/a>‘s original design for the cover of ‘S\u00e9lection’, along with the contract and correspondence<\/a> between De Ridder\/ S\u00e9lection and Spilliaert. One of the most startling pieces will be the correspondence<\/a> between Theo Van Doesburg and De Ridder, also from the same period. Dozens of original and unprecedented photos of De Ridder\/ Van Hecke and their entourage also surfaced, taken by Robert De Smet and others.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”justify”]De Ridder also had a very high-end art collection himself. The latest witnesses to this will also be presented to the general public at that auction, such as Floris Jespers\u2019 important 1925 work \u2018De Kommunicant<\/a>\u2019 (sic).<\/p>\n

With this collection auction, it will become clear that Andr\u00e9 de Ridder played a key role in our ‘roaring twenties’ art world and was often (co-)responsible for the many international contacts that gave our magazines and galleries their international name and fame.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_separator][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text]Parking <\/strong>
