Berko Fine Paintings

Born into a family of art and antique dealers, Patrick Berko has always had a passion for the 19th century Academic, Realist, Orientalist, and Romantic Schools of painting and for the Belle Epoque period of the early 20th century. With his wife, Viviane, Patrick Berko has opened several galleries in Knokke-Le Zoute (1976), Paris (1978), Brussels (1983), Antwerp (1984), Tokyo (1989 ), and New York (1987).

Patrick and Viviane Berko specialize in quality Belgian paintings and, assisted for several years now by their children, Maximin and Irina Berko, love to share their passion in their galleries in Knokke-Le-Zoute and, since October 2008, in Shanghai, with enthusiasts and collectors from all over the world.

They regularly participate in the most prestigious art fairs, including Brussels, Paris, Maastricht, Palm Beach, Monaco, Moscow, and London.

They have also published a number of art books and dictionaries, including the "Berko"—the Dictionary of Belgian Painters born between 1750 and 1875, the Dictionary of Belgian and Dutch Flower Painters born between 1750 and 1880, and the Dictionary of Belgian and Dutch Animal Painters born between 1750 and 1880. Patrick and Viviane have also written a dozen monographs, including Fernand Toussaint, Georges Lemmers, Paul Mathieu, Paul Leduc, Caroline Stiénon du Pré, and Georges Rogy.
