Guy Vaes

1927 - 2012

Born in Antwerpen (BE), died in Antwerpen (BE).

The French-language Antwerp author Guy Vaes (1927-2012) acquires fame in 1956 with his first novel Octobre long dimanche. Not just as author, but as photographer as well, he brings his attentive gaze to evoke the seemingly banal but essentially alien character of everyday life.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
