More than just a painter. Verheyen was an unfettered modernist, a late-called homo universalis and internationalist whose importance as a link between the Belgian and international art worlds can hardly be overestimated. The latter is certainly evidenced by the Liber Amicis, preserved in the archives and thus far never made available, in which Jef Verheyen gave his network of friends from home and abroad the opportunity to speak. The Liber Amicis has contributions from Piero Manzoni, Gotthard Graubner, Günther Uecker and Christian Megert, among others.

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.
