THE BRUSSELS ANCIENT ART FAIR
The Brussels Ancient Art Fair (BAAF) was created completely from scratch on a whim in
2003 in less than three months. It was a major challenge and few people would have bet
on it being successful. I will never forget the incredulous and anxious email that my
colleague from Amsterdam, Vincent Geerling, with whom I set up the fair, sent me at
the time. Although brief, he made his feelings clear. “Jacques, what kind of adventure
are we embarking on!?” Neither of us could have suspected that the fair would still be
in existence so many years later, that it would become a benchmark and a not-to-bemissed date for archaeological collectors from around the world, and that it would
have a sister fair in Switzerland, the Basel Ancient Art Fair.
To mark its tenth anniversary, the Brussels Ancient Art Fair is proud to welcome two new
high quality exhibitors, who have just been included in the IADAA (International Association
of Dealers in Ancient Art). The first is Karl Stimm, an art historian by training, who is
based in Antwerp and who runs the gallery Akanthos. The second is Randy Hixenbaugh,
a classical archaeologist originally from New York, who was trained in art dealing by
Jerry Eisenberg from Royal-Athena Galleries and who runs Hixenbaugh Ancient Art.
For this tenth jubilee edition, we have arranged a large Egyptian art exhibition, entitled
Ancient Egypt. Masterpieces from Collectors and Collections. It has only seen the light of
day thanks to support from private collectors and European museums (the Kestner
Museum in Hannover and the Antikenmuseum und Sammlung Ludwig in Basel), to whom
we are extremely grateful.

Exhibition
The exhibition will take place just a stone’s throw from Sablon, opposite the Palais de
Justice at Hôtel de Mérode, one of Brussels’ great venues. This princely palace dates back
to the 17th century and is home to the very select Cercle de Lorraine Business Club, which
counts the elite of the Brussels’ business world among its members. It will enable the
public to see around one hundred very high quality Egyptian pieces, which stand apart
due to their charm and originality. Many of them have never been exhibited before.
A superb catalogue produced by around a dozen renowned Egyptologists details all of
the pieces in the exhibition.
Our tenth anniversary is also the perfect opportunity for us to thank all of our exhibitors
for their exemplary loyalty. Most of them have been with us from the very beginning, some
of them travel far to be with us, and year after year they appreciate the warm atmosphere
that descends on Sablon at the beginning of June.
In fact, we are not the only ones to occupy Sablon. Our sister fairs BRUNEAF and BOAFair,
under the inspired leadership of Pierre Loos and Georgia Chrischilles, also draw a
large number of visitors to Brussels. It is this combination of ancient, tribal and oriental
art that gives this tripartite event its originality and unique identity.
If you have a passion for ancient art, you owe it to yourself to be in Brussels–and
nowhere else–for BAAF. The fair is exceptional in every way.

Lion devouring the head of an Asian - Egypt, 26th-27th dynasty (664-404 BC)
Faience - H: 3.3 cm, L: 6.8 cm.
Depicted as a lion devouring an Asian prisoner–who can be recognized by his
pointed beard and Roman nose–the Pharaoh provides magical protection from
Egypt’s traditional enemies.
The best parallel, from an iconographical point of view, is the famous Ramesside
lion’s head swallowing the head of a Nubian, from the Schimmel Collection,
kept in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (1989.281.92).

Roman Marble Aphrodite Anadyomene - An ancient Roman marble statuette of
Aphrodite Anadyomene, the goddess of love, rising from her bath and leaning her
head to wring out her hair. At her feet a dolphin sits with its tail curling upward.
Ca. 1st century BC / 1st century AD - Height: 32.5 cm - Repaired at the knee Fine grain Greek Island marble - Very fine style.
Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of sexual love and beauty. She was also known
as Cypris and Cytherea after the two places, Cyprus and Cythera, where she
was said to have originated. Hephaestus was her husband, the child Eros her
companion, and Ares one of her lovers. The dove, the sparrow, and the swan
were the animals sacred to her. In Rome the goddess was known as Venus.
The Aphrodite Anadyomene type statue depicted the goddess nude, wringing out
her hair or adjusting the fillet in her hair after rising from her bath or the sea.
Confer: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, inv. no. 27.122.17;
The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, inv. no. 23.101.
Formerly in a German private collection, prior to 1970.

Ring stone engraved with Faustulus, with she-wolf and twins
Roman Republic - 1st century BC - Red jasper - Height: 1.6 cm - Intact.
Faustulus is standing to the right, an animal skin on his back, leaning on his stick.
Before him, the she-wolf is suckling Romulus and Remus. In the background,
vine stock with five bunches of grapes.
According to Roman mythology, Faustulus was a shepherd who guarded flocks
belonging to Amulius, usurper king of Alba Longa. Amulius took the twins
Romulus and Remus and threw them into the river Tiber. They were found and
then suckled by a she-wolf. Faustulus raised them with his wife Acca Larentia.
The twins, who were Amulius’s great-nephews, were the children of Rhea Silvia
and the god Mars (as claimed by their mother, herself the daughter of the
deposed king Numitor).

PAZ Laboratorien für Archäometrie
Dr. Boaz Paz
Dr. Boaz Paz is an experienced analytical scientist who has worked for over
15 years in the field of scientific archaeometrical research. He worked for several
years at the Rathgen Research Laboratory of the Berlin State Museums and
continued his work at the Curt-Engelhorn-Centre in Mannheim as senior scientist,
where he was responsible for scientific investigations concerning the authenticity,
provenance and dating of antiquities.
Now he offers with PAZlab a variety of analytical services to the archaeological
community, private collectors, antique and art dealers, conservators, artisans
and educational institutions.
The general aim of archaeometry is to collect natural-scientific information
about artifacts and ancient objects that is in­accessible through purely archaeological and/or art historical methods. By using several methods of material
analysis it is possible to obtain information about ancient production techniques
or the provenance of archaeological artifacts and antique objects. PAZlab also
specializes in performing non-destructive analysis of glass, ceramics, metals
and art works.

the
BASEL ANCIENT ART FAIR
2012
the ancient art event
In the autumn 18 top international dealers in classical,
Egyptian and Near Eastern antiquities gather again in the
elegant setting of the Wenkenhof – a lavish baroque residence
in Riehen, on the outskirts of Basel.
Quality is the key word, not only in objects and expertise but
in context too.
Set in a magnificent park, the Reithalle Wenkenhof has
proved to provide the perfect ambience for a November fair.
All participants are member of the International Association
of Dealers in Ancient Art (IADAA) and follow a strict code
of ethics concerning the authenticity and provenance of the
objects they sell. Lunch or a refreshment at the BAAF Bistro
completes the experience.
