About us

In October 2020, the GALERIE BRACHOT will open its doors in the heart of Durbuy.

For four generations, the Brachot family has helped to bring to the forefront famous artists such as René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Panamarenko and Roman Opalka, while at the same time supporting young talents in contemporary art. Today, this rich history is carried on by Isy Brachot and his wife Sabrina.

The works presented at GALERIE BRACHOT are selected through visits to the artists, the discovery of treasures in private homes, and a skilful blend of passion and knowledge for modern and contemporary art through the selection of unique and important works in the career of the artists presented.

This selection combines the eye of the passionate collector with the expertise of the discerning gallerist.

GALERIE BRACHOT is pleased to offer its clients its expertise and advice, combining Isy Brachot's background with the fresh and dynamic eye of his wife, Sabrina, whose background in publishing and marketing brings a fine balance between tradition and contemporary means of communication.

GALERIE BRACHOT is much more than an exhibition space. It's a place where emotions come alive, where art becomes an experience in itself, weaving a fascinating tapestry between modern and contemporary art.

Since 2020, Sabrina and Isy Bachot have made it their mission to create the link that unites every collector with the emotion that a work of art evokes. They want to share their passion for the works they choose, the artist's career, the message they wish to convey and their commitment to art history or contemporary society.

It all began in 1915 with Isy Brachot I, who founded a gallery and a magazine, L'Art belge.
His son, Isy Brachot II, took over by founding a new gallery, which he opened up to modernity with Dali, Léger, Picasso, Ensor, the École de Laethem-Saint-Martin and discovered young Belgian talents such as Delmotte.

His son, Isy Brachot III, a young doctor of law, and his wife, Christine Duchiron, began a formidable complicityý with the surrealist circles that would make the gallery famous, and which would continue its fruitful development by revealing currents such as hyper-realism, artists such as Beuys, Buren, Opalka, Panamarenko, Gina Pane, Rauschenberg and many others.
The Brachot Gallery became known beyond our borders, opening a space in Paris and exchanging works with the most famous gallery owners in the world (Leo Castelli in New York, Maeght in Paris, etc.).

Isy Brachot worked alongside his parents before taking over the management of the Brachot gallery in 2000 and founding his own gallery in 2004.


In the same year, he opened a contemporary art section called "Galerie Gabriel Brachot" in one of the most lively districts of Brussels, where he exhibited works by young contemporary artists such as Guillaume Liffran, Sebastien Delire, Alain Bornain, Berend Hoekstra, Hilarius Hofstede, Christian Denzler, Robert Quint and Cathy Coez.

In 2006, Isy Brachot moved to Avenue Louise and opened Espace Gabriel Brachot.
 Since 2010, he has specialised in modern and contemporary art as a consultant for the artists with whom Galerie Brachot has worked and defended over the years.

He further developed his expertise in Belgian Surrealism with René Magritte, to whom he devoted himself exclusively, combining all his knowledge of the subject with his family's experience.
