Fabien Fryns has been active in the contemporary art world since 1986, primarily as a collector and advisor to both newly initiated clients and established collectors. In the early days, Fabien collected and placed works by Miquel Barcelo, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Combas, George Condo, Adam Fuss, Nan Goldin, Anthony Gormley, Peter Halley, Keith Haring, Henry Hudson, Richard Hudson, Anish Kapoor, David LaChapelle, Robert Mapplethorpe, Shirin Neshat, Julian Schnabel, and Andy Warhol among others.
Since discovering Chinese contemporary art in 2000 and moving to Beijing in 2004, Fabien has shifted his focus and has developed close relationships with many of the established and emerging artists working in China today, ranging from Ai Weiwei to Zeng Fanzhi.
After 18 years of primary gallery experience, Fabien Fryns Fine Art now acts solely as advisors to private collectors and institutions, and continue to promote the established and emerging artists they have been working with. Its mission persists to contribute to the cross-cultural exchange between China and the West, and to raise the awareness of chinese contemporary art in the international market.
