Presentation

The Lambert Collection is a new summer exhibition showing works from art collections belonging to artists from all over the world. The point of departure is "the experience of the Moderns" with two major works by Cézanne from Picasso and Matisse's collections, but the exhibition is mainly composed of works collected by contemporary artists like Jasper Johns, Douglas Gordon, Sol LeWitt, Julian Schnabel, Brice Marden or Jan Fabre.Seeking to expose complex and genuine rapports, artistic complicity that is woven between these artists, the exhibition is a mine of discovery and surprises where eclectism is the watchword in drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, films other documents and ojects that are symbols of personal history and secret insights through the theme of the artists' collection. The exhibition should be seen as a venue for living stories, a place which arranges echos, reflections among the works from different times and civilisations that belong to these artists, and via a sort of sentimental promenade, show their tastes and visions. Jan Fabre shows part of his personal collection of drawings by Belgian artists: Khnopff, Magritte, Ensor, Spilliaert, Thierry de Cordier, Panamarenko, Jan Van Imschoot, Marcel Broodthaers and photos by Robert Mapplethorpe, Nan Goldin and Helmut Newton.
