He concentrated mainly on the work of six artists: Jean Brusselmans, Gust De Smet, Constant Permeke, Edgard Tytgat, Frits Van den Berghe and Rik Wouters. However, Tony Herbert was not only an avid collector of their best works, but also an influential promoter of their art. The exhibition reassembles the most important paintings, sculptures, drawings and archival pieces from this historic Collection. Many works are on public display for the first time in a long time. This publication brings together the most important works from the historic Collection and explores the significance of the Collector for the recognition of modern art in Belgium and abroad. The book includes new text contributions by Tanguy Eeckhout, Laurence Van Kerkhoven and Virginie Devillez.
