In honour of BRAFA 2025, the prestigious Antwerp art fair that brings together collectors from all over the world, gallery owner Samuel Vanhoegaerden presented a special selection of James Ensor works. This year’s focus was on twelve rare drawings from La Gamme d’Amour (Flirt de Marionnettes), an intriguing ballet composition in which Ensor effortlessly blends image and music.
The exhibition is accompanied by a brand-new monograph, published in collaboration with Ensor expert Xavier Tricot – a publication that is at once a book, an art object and a collector’s item.

When Samuel Vanhoegaerden publishes an art book, you can count on something exceptional. The gallery owner from Knokke is known for his museum-worthy publications and asked us to join him again, this time for the Ensor edition “La Gamme d’Amour”.
With this monograph, Samuel Vanhoegaerden Gallery put Ensor firmly in the spotlight at BRAFA. The luxury edition is a perfect complement to the twelve original drawings on display at the stand and is also a collector’s item that is already eagerly snapped up by collectors.
