Statement

Established in 2000, Van de Weghe is a secondary market gallery specializing in work by Modern, Post-War and Contemporary European and American artists.

Christophe Van de Weghe, born in 1968 in Brussels, Belgium, is a former professional tennis player who achieved an ATP ranking of 486 at just 17 years old on September 9, 1986. He played Davis Cup for Belgium and continued his education at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration in 1991 on a full tennis scholarship. Van de Weghe began his art career in 1993, working at Gagosian until 2000. That year, he opened his gallery—a 4,500+ square foot space on 23rd Street in Chelsea—where he hosted historical exhibitions that had a sound impact both critically and on the secondary market including:

  • Stella: Paintings from the 60s
  • Serra: Sculptures
  • Calder: Sculptures
  • Ellsworth Kelly Paintings
  • Basquiat: Heads
  • Basquiat: Works on Paper
  • Warhol: Self Portraits Works on Canvas 1962-1986
  • Warhol: Ad Paintings
  • Magritte: Retrospective Works on Canvas
  • Warhol Basquiat Collaboration Paintings
  • Picasso: Late Paintings
  • Judd: Single Stacks
  • Nauman: Neon, Sculptures and Works on Paper
  • Haring: Tarps
  • Frederic Anderson: New Paintings

In 2009, we moved to a location at 1018 Madison Avenue on the Upper East Side. By late 2023, we acquired a historic townhouse at 64 East 77th Street, next to the renowned Carlyle Hotel, and officially opened the by-appointment gallery in May 2024.

We participate in the following art fairs: Art Basel, Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Basel Paris, Art Basel Hong Kong, TEFAF Maastricht, TEFAF NY, Art Genève, Art Monte-Carlo, and The Armory Show.

Van de Weghe primarily operates as a secondary market gallery, however we represent one primary artist: Frederic Anderson.

Born in 1973 in Luxembourg, Anderson earned his BFA from the American College in London and an MFA from the University of Arts, London. Now residing and working in London, he explores the potency of gestural mark-making, crafting narratives through loose jots, scrawled lines, and spontaneous marks. Anderson’s paintings are paintings of music, each beginning life as a small drawing made in response to a specific song album, often played on repeat over several days. Each mark corresponds to an incident in the music, while the colors capture its mood and texture, and the marks’ energy reflects the intensity and complexity of the musicians' interplay. His works, visual interpretations of vintage jazz records from 1950s-60s New York—particularly Freddie Hubbard, Charles Mingus, and Thelonious Monk—undergo an intensive process. After producing up to a hundred drawings during week-long sessions, they are left to rest for years, allowing their original context to fade. Only then are they edited, collaged, and refined into a final selection of 10-12 drawings, which serve as the basis for the painting process.
