Fernand Huts opens new museum in Antwerp

Fernand Huts announces in De Morgen the arrival of a new private museum in Antwerp dedicated to Cobra art. Cobra stands for Copenhagen-Brussels-Amsterdam, the three capitals from which the movement’s leading artists operated. Among them a number of Belgians such as Pierre Alechinsky, Hugo Claus and Christian Dotremont. Through his art foundation The Phoebus Foundation, Huts owns one of the largest collections of early works by painters from that movement. His wife Karine Van den Heuvel will run the museum.
