5 distinguished artworks in Tefaf Maastricht 2025

Flower decorations, white wine psalms, and fresh shellfish made for a typical scene at Maastricht Foundation (TEFAF), which received the first day of VIP preview yesterday, March 13.

Now in its thirty -eighth edition, Tefaf Maastricht 2025 is among the top citizens in the art exhibition world and has a tremendous reputation in this industry. Requesting the exhibition to represent “7000 years of art history” is not just a description line, but it is a dangerous announcement of the intention that it achieves a remarkable harmony: everything from ancient masters to jewelry, rare books, sculptures, antiquities, and contemporary art, can be overcome through the MECC Conference Center.

In the 2025 edition of the exhibition-which includes 273 exhibitions from 21 countries-discovering homosexuals and museum quality materials. In addition to the works of famous names such as Vincent Van Gogh, Titian, Diego Villazkuiz and Rabrante Van Regen, there are a large number of works from different segments of art history everywhere. “The depth of the exhibition in terms of quality and the topic also means that there is almost nothing for everyone,” said Robert Bowman, the owner of the Sculpture, who was shown in the exhibition for a quarter of a century. He added: “You can get a lot of serious museum managers and managers who say:” If there is one exhibition, I will go to it, then it is Tefaf. “Among the Both’s Both, which offers two centuries of sleep Autoportrait (1870).

Although TEFAF has been famous for historical works, it would be a mistake to think that the exhibition is not looking forward. The new administrative director, Dominic Savilkeol (Fifth Administrative Director of TEFAF in four years), who was formerly head of the Belgian Museum MU.Zee, I mentioned her plan for Encourage the next generation college on MECC. This was highlighted by the Fair Display section, which was launched in 2008, which includes 10 exhibitions that worked for 10 years or less. It should also be noted this year, which is the “Insider’s Digital”, which highlights artworks less than 20,000 euros ($ 21,728).

Contemporary art also maintains a strong presence with enough exhibitions in the category to form a small exhibition of their own. In addition to the names of blue chip like White Cube and Skarstedt, the prominent points include Marianne Boesky Gallery’s new works by Daniel Macini (in a dialogue with Edward Huber) and new sculptures written by Ken Mihara in a beacon called Kanata.

Exhibitions with contemporary tendencies also take the opportunity the exhibition offers to attach historical components to their current programs. In the Parisian exhibition booth, works such as Alberto Giakometi and David Hawkni are displayed along with advanced names such as Alica Kawad and Pyrete Hallev. “The idea is this confrontation, the porous between modernity and antiques,” said Camille Minor, owner of the exhibition. “I love the idea of ​​this approximation. For me, it was very important to be close to this idea about what people expect to see here, so I try to be Minor, but in a different way.”

In fact, the largest TEFAF assets are its very high breadth and standards (the entry process and the audit committee have a frightening reputation). The recent stock market fluctuations and customs tariff changes have created tension in the weeks before the exhibition. However, the anxiety of the exhibition seemed to be calmed by the emergence of a crowd from the day of the VIP. With a group of blue elements offered-the most expensive work in the exhibition tends to be Pablo Picasso Les Dormeurs (1965), at a price “exceeding 50 million dollars” in the Landau Fine ART booth – the applicants hope that the initial energy on the ground will be fulfilled by similar force when it comes to transactions.

Here, ARTSY chooses five distinguished works from the exhibition, which will continue until Wednesday, March 19.
