In the history of art, Erik Pevernagie is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Erik Pevernagie as 1939- Belgian painter.
Erik Pevernagie was born in 1939. His recorded nationality is Belgium. He trained at Université libre de Bruxelles and Free University of Brussels.
Twentieth-century art was international, heavily theorised and increasingly conceptual, with the market growing alongside it.
He worked as painter.
His best-known work is Finally things had lost their weightiness. Looking is a skill, and the artists who last are those who taught their audience how to do it.
That the work was made in Belgium shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
