Bank (and thus as of August 2018 by the Belgian State, owner of Belfius since 2011).

History

The current collection of Belfius Bank is the combination of the collections of three older banks, which are now part of Belfius. Paribas Belgium collected art from the 16th to the 18th century, plus some contemporary (post-WWII) art. The Gemeentekrediet collected Belgian art from 1860 to 1945.

BACOB Dexia N.V./S.A., or the Dexia Group, is a Franco-Belgian financial institution formed in 1996. At its peak in 2010, it had about 35,200 members of staff and a core shareholders' equity of €19.2 billion. In 2008, the bank entered severe ...

did not start collecting art until 1980, and focused on contemporary Belgian art. Belfius continued collecting art after the fusion of the banks, and the complete collection has grown to more than 4,300 works. This makes it the largest company-based Belgian art collection, while being considered one of the 100 most important worldwide. The Belgian state took over the bank in 2011, so effectively owns the art collection as well. Small selections of the collection are open to the public two Saturdays every month. The bank lends works to exhibitions as well.

Future

The plans, as of August 2018, to denationalize Belfius partially or completely by going to a stock exchange with it, have raised concerns about the future of the collection, with calls to separate the art collection from the bank and keep it completely in the hands of the government.
