Karel Appel, a refuge in economic less favourable times
The stock exchange falls, the classical savings account hardly yields anything and the government Di Rupo I increases the tax
on income through investment. Is investment in art a better option?
Qualitative art pays
‘Yes’, says art dealer Hanegreefs from Robinsons Art Gallery, ‘who anno 2012 is looking for a paying investment, soon arrives
at art’. Apart from contemporary art, Robinsons Art Gallery in Knokke also has ‘old’ names like Karel Appel in the gallery.
Highly recommended for all art lovers that are also looking for a paying and exquisite investment. ‘Quality is what counts
here’. Moreover, art combines the economic with the hedonistic profit: art and beauty bring you in a good mood.
And that is worth a lot as well!
Karel Appel: rated at true value
The days that the works of Karel Appel and other CoBrA artists were considered real art, are far behind us. Today the quality
of his work is rated at true value by art connoisseurs and art lovers. According to Jan Nieuwenhuizen Segaar, internationally
recognized as the great Appel expert, the Dutch artist may even be considered as the most important Dutch successor
of Vincent Van Gogh.
Karel Appel is much more than CoBrA
The general public still associates Karel Appel mainly with CoBrA. Yet he is much more than that. Later in his career he
developed a very figurative way of painting, with a more passionate stroke in a thick layer of paint. The great power of Karel Appel,
though, is that his work constantly changes: he adds and varies by using colours and materials. The artist shows extraordinary
abilities and a tremendous vision and therefore perfectly fits in the tradition of the great Dutch masters.
