Works by Victor Guidalevitch

Works

Victor Guidalevich was an engineer by training who became an amateur photographer. Living and working in Antwerp, he was a member of the avant-garde group “Iris”.

The number of publicly known artworks is about 100 photographs out of a total which can be estimated at around 200. The very small number of copies is probably linked to the fact that the author developed them himself and had no commercial ambition.

Today no art gallery officially represents the work and estate of Victor Guidalevitch. Some of his works are on sale by art dealers, galleries or even bookstores, and occasionally appear at auctions around the world.
