BRAFA Art Fair
June 19th - 26th 2022This year at BRAFA, we are pleased to bring together a prestigious selection of works by the masters of modern and post-war art. By creating a dialogue between the materials and techniques of pioneers, we hope to demonstrate the irrefutable vitality, eclectic but coherent, of the European art scene in the 20th century.
To illustrate this constant search for innovations, we devote our entire stand to the project Intersections with works by artists Alberto Burri, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Simon Hantaï, Hans Hartung, Yves Klein, Georges Mathieu, Alicia Penalba, Serge Poliakoff, Gérard Schneider, Antoni Tàpies, and Bernar Venet.
We conceive our presentation as a spatial and visual conversation to highlight the effects created by different textures and surfaces chosen by these artists, united in their refusal of all preconceptions about how to make art.

“Texture and surface. Many of the significant innovations of post-war abstract art converge at the intersection of these two elements. Unconventional materials, expressive gestures, destroyed surfaces. Nothing could limit the artists who invent their artistic language and construct their singularity.”
Serge Poliakoff, Composition abstraite, 1967, oil on canvas, 64 x 51 5/8 in.
