MISSION
Today the H&S collection features 42 artists and 219 works. The establishment of the H & S Foundation in 2020 is a way to honor that memorable period in the 1990s that formed the basis for the collection. Located in a 130m2 house in South of Brussels, the new space gives new life to the best works, where they may be seen and appreciated by a new public.
H&S Foundation will showcase the paintings to a wider audience in Brussels, from seasoned collectors to novices who may not be familiar with Vietnamese contemporary art. The permanent collection will rotate periodically in the galleries, with additional curatorial activities and future programming that will supplement and continue giving context to the collection.
It seems clear that Vietnamese artists of the so-called Indochina period ending in the eighties and who attended the École des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine with French teachers like Joseph INGUIMBERTY know a growing success on the second market where auction’s houses meet great sales. See for example the coming sale organized by MILLON in Paris ("les légendes de l'école des Beaux-Arts d'Indochine").
H&S is willing to participate to the promotion of the so-called post Doi Moi period starting in the early nineties in order to bring on the second market famous artists like Nguyen Quan, Nguyen Than, Bui Ngoc TU and many others to refresh and update the second market with the Doi Moi generation.
