About Charles Vandenhove
Charles Vandenhove (1927–2019) was a Belgian architect known for combining modernist clarity with a strong connection to art. His work includes housing, public buildings, and cultural projects across Belgium and abroad. He worked closely with artists such as Daniel Buren and Sol LeWitt, integrating artworks into his architecture. Alongside his buildings, he created a small number of sculptural interventions, including works for the Middelheimpark in Antwerp.
Together with his wife, he built a significant collection of post-war art, including works by Sol LeWitt, Cy Twombly, and Pierre Soulages, later largely donated to Ghent University. He also designed a limited number of furniture pieces, rare objects that reflect the same attention to proportion, material, and space.
