ForewordThe beginning of June 2013 represents an important time for the Sablon quarter of Brussels, with the launch of two new events.The first is Asian Art in Brussels (AAB), the new oriental art fair founded and curated by highly acclaimed Italian antique dealer, Carlo Cristi, and supported by a Board of competent and devoted colleagues.Carlo Cristi and myself are on the exact same wavelength, both being exacting and meticulous in our desire for quality at our fairs.Our exhibitors are hand-picked and their pieces are the subject of close verification by a panel of experts, among the greatest “scholars” in their respective disciplines.Impeccable vetting, which primarily protects the collector, is the sine qua non factor in creating a trusting environment for potential purchasers; it also favours good business for our exhibitors. Nowadays, no fair worthy of its name can overlook this.
With the help of two friends handling the public relations and promotion of AAB et BAAF, Mrs. Olga Polunin, Singaporean artist-painter and Mr. Matthieu Wolmark, Parisian journalist and filmmaker, both based in the capital of Europe, Carlo Cristi and I have put a great deal of thought into giving our respective events an additional dimension.This thought process has gone through various stages and finally ended up with the creation of ArtConnoisseurs, for which the first event will take place in June along-side our fairs.ArtConnoisseurs will offer high level lectures within the fields of archaeology and oriental art. There will also be, in the wings of the fairs, a forum, a place where people can network, exchange ideas and expand their knowledge of the arts within the pleasant setting that is Sablon in the month of June. Each year at these events, this cultural, scientific and friendly “platform” will be a place for exhibitions and an increasing number of lectures put on in collaboration with collectors-patrons, experts, scientists as well as Belgian and foreign museum curators, both public and private.Already this year, there will be some 20 lectures freely accessible to all, and which you will be able to attend from 6-8 June during your stay in Brussels.The oriental art presentations will take place in the superb location of the Musical Instruments Museum (MIM) in Brussels, an Art Nouveau masterpiece. Those relating
VettingThe Brussels Ancient Art Fair is considered by many to boast one of the best Vetting Committees for antiquities in the world, with an exceptional panel of renowned experts, art historians, archeologists and Egyptologists.
The members of the Vetting Committee have been very carefully selected to guarantee the quality and the authenticity of all exhibits, including the pieces published in the catalogue.
Pieces are systematically rejected where there is the slightest doubt concerning their authenticity.
Genuine, but overly restored objects are not admitted. Authentic, but poor quality items are rejected too as they are considered “not in the interest of the Fair.”
The primary objective of the Brussels Ancient Art Fair has always been to protect its customers, who can buy from us with confidence.
The Members of the Brussels Ancient Art Fair Vetting Committee:
Dr. Corinne Besson
Prof. Em. Dr. Herman A. G. Brijder
Dr. Kirsten Konrad
Prof. Dr. Detlev Kreikenbom
Peter Pamminger
Prof. Dr. Klaus Parlasca
Dr. Cyril Thiaudière
Prof. Dr. Winfred van de Put
Prof. Dr. Rainer Vollkommer
Dr. André Wiese
For further information and to read a short biography of each member, please see the “Vetting” section on our website: www.baaf.be
to archaeology will take place in the former palace of the Princes de Merode, home to the prestigious Cercle de Lorraine. I must take this opportunity to thank the Institut Belge des Hautes Etudes Chinoises, the MIM, the Cercle de Lorraine and the Brussels-Capital Region as well as all the members of the Honorary Committee who put their trust in us and without whom this project would not have come to fruition.The full programme of lectures as well as the list of members of the Honorary Committee is available at: www.artconnoisseurs.euIn addition to promoting our disciplines to a wider audience, as well as what Brussels and Belgium has to offer in terms of ancient and oriental art, one of ArtConnoisseurs’ desired objectives is to strengthen the links between the art market and private collectors with science and museums.The Egyptian exhibition which I had the privilege of organising last year at the Cercle de Lorraine for the 10th anniversary of BAAF–in partnership with the Museum August Kestner in Hannover and Antikensammlung Basel und Sammlung Ludwig of Basel–set the tone: public collections owe a great deal to the major collectors of the past, and it is important that this process continues.At a time when museums are the first victims of budget cuts within States, in Belgium and elsewhere, it is imperative that we rekindle and keep the flame of patronage alive, for sponsorship, long term loans, gifts and legacies to the benefit of museums.
The address, 15 Rue des Minimes will play host to the exhibition organised by BAAF, L’Égypte dessinée [Egypt drawn] by Belgian architect Bruno Cassiers, with original drawings reproduced in the magnificent book of the same name, published by Editions Lycaons. This is a real feat presenting the drawings sketched by 19th century Euro-pean travellers to Egypt with his own work, often of the same sites.Unusually, in this foreword I haven’t covered the subject of BAAF very much. The success of this event speaks for itself and the loyalty shown by our exhibitors and our visitors for this event has been second to none.
Just one final thing: be sure not to miss the tribal art fair BRUNEAF, which is also taking place with AAB and BAAF and its very beautiful exhibition of African ivories (Joyaux Lega - Lega Gems).

In the autumn 18 top international dealers in classical, Egyptian and Near Eastern antiquities gather again in the elegant setting of the Wenkenhof – a lavish baroque residence in Riehen, on the outskirts of Basel. Quality is the key word, not only in objects and expertise but in context too. Set in a magnificent park, the Reithalle Wenkenhof has proved to provide the perfect ambience for a November fair. All participants are member of the International Association of Dealers in Ancient Art (IADAA) and follow a strict code of ethics concerning the authenticity and provenance of the objects they sell. Lunch or a refreshment at the BAAF Bistro completes the experience.

“MEHEN, STUDIECENTRUM VOOR HET OUDE EGYPTE”
Wie of wat is ‘’Mehen’’? Mehen, Studiecentrum voor het oude Egypte, opgericht door Bep Koek-Overvest en Jan Koek, is een zelfstandige stichting die geen winstoogmerk heeft. Het studiecentrum ontplooit allerlei activiteiten die er met name op gericht zijn om de kennis over het faraonische Egypte te versprei-den aan iedereen die hier belangstelling voor heeft. Uit de opbrengsten van deze activiteiten ondersteunt Mehen de studie over het oude Egypte, o.a. met de Mehen-scriptieprijs voor Egyptologie. Als u deze doelstelling wilt ondersteunen, wordt dan donateur van Mehen voor mini-maal € 25,– per jaar. Echtparen betalen € 35,– per jaar. Donateurs krijgen korting op de meeste activiteiten van Mehen en hebben gratis toegang tot de jaarlijkse Mehen-dag. Het bankrekeningnummer is 67.19.36.387 t.n.v. B.J. Koek-Overvest e/o J.G. Koek te Elst (U).
De activiteiten bestaan uit lezingen, cursussen, studiedagen en reizen. Sinds 1991 hebben Bep en Jan Koek succesvolle (thema)reizen georganiseerd naar Egypte en naar vele egyp-tologische collecties in musea in Europa en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. Ook verzorgt Mehen al ruim twintig jaar lezingen over het oude Egypte met onderwerpen op allerlei gebied, met als specialisme de religie van de oude Egyptenaren.Wilt u een lezing op maat of een reis naar eigen wens, ook voor kleine groepen, laten organiseren? Neemt u dan eens contact op met ‘’Mehen, Studiecentrum voor het oude Egypte’’.
Wat betekent ‘’Mehen’’?De naam Mehen betekent ‘’De Gekronkelde’’ en is een reusachtige slang. Al vanaf de predynastieke tijd is het Mehenspel bekend (zie foto). Het was niet alleen een spel, maar het Mehenspel was in het Oude Rijk ook een hulp-middel om herboren te worden. Vanaf het 7e uur in het zogenoemde onderwereldboek ‘’het Amdoeat’’ (vanaf het Nieuwe Rijk) kronkelt Mehen om de kajuit van de zonne-bark van Ra (zie het logo). Mehen beschermt de zonnegod tegen allerlei gevaren op zijn tocht door het hiernamaals, het werkgebied van Mehen. Hopelijk strekt Mehen zijn bescherming ook uit over het studiecentrum en allen die deelnemen aan de (studie)reis door het oude Egypte.

The bust of Nefertiti is one of the most famous sculptures in the world, but for many years the ancestry and life of the wife of Akhenaten remained shrouded in mystery.
Hermann A. Schlögl describes what we know today about this shadowy queen. He shows that, as co-regent of Akhenaten having equal rank, she played a decisive role in implementing his religious revolution, and clarifi es the family lineage of Nefertiti on the basis of a new DNA analysis.
Hermann A. Schlögl is an emeritus professor of Egyptology at the University of Fribourg.
