MAASTRICHT. An extraordinary display of masterpieces will be on show at TEFAF Maastricht 2011. This world famous international art and antiques fair has nine specialist sections with more than 30,000 works of art, old and new. Every object is rigorously vetted by international experts to maintain TEFAF’s reputation for exhibiting only the best pieces.
TEFAF Modern occupies a quarter of the Fair and has a superb range of classical modern and contemporary works to offer. Among the highlights is Mother and Child: Block Seat, a 244 cm-high sculpture by Henry Moore (photo), offered by Landau Fine Art(Montreal).Cast in an edition of nine in 1983, it portrays the child as an elemental, virtually abstract, form. The effect of “the big form protecting the small form”, as Moore described it, is compelling.
A few short steps from TEFAF Modern you will find TEFAF Design, hosting top specialists in 20th-century design and applied art.Galerie Eric Philippe (Paris) will exhibit a dining set of a table, twelve chairs and a sideboard. It was created in 1923 by Christen Emanuel Kjaer Monberg and Axel Salto for Mr Maggaard, president of the Danish Shipowners Association.
TEFAF is a veritable treasure trove for collectors. Rupert Wace Ancient Art (London) is bringing an extremely rare Greek idol(photo) made about 7,000 years ago. The small white marble figure of a woman is one of fewer than a dozen known pieces dating from this early era, most of which are in museums. It is 2,000 years older than the majority of surviving Cycladic works of art.
In TEFAF Paper first-time exhibitor Stephen Ongpin Fine Art (London) will show a preparatory water colour by Renoir for his painting Bathers in the Forest. Some twenty more works by Renoir can be admired in the Hammer Galleries (New York) display inTEFAF Paintings. Among them is a fine painting of Renoir's son Claude (photo) dating from around 1906. It will go on public show for the first time at TEFAF.
TEFAF offers sparkling gems and objets d’art from the past and the present. Véronique Bamps (Monaco) presents a unique necklace in yellow gold made by René Boivin of Paris in 1945 for Princess Irène of Greece. This superb piece is decorated with pompons set with brilliant cut diamonds.

TEFAF MAASTRICHT THE WORLD'S
LEADING ART AND ANTIQUES FAIR
As a visitor to TEFAF Maastricht you will be present at an outstanding event, one that offers the best choice of the very best in fine art. You will have a unique chance to view and to buy paintings from Bruegel to Bacon as well as objects reflecting 6,000 years of excellence in the applied arts.
No where else will you find such an elegantly displayed selection of genuine masterpieces from 260 of the world’s most prestigious art and antiques dealers from 16 countries.
No where else will you find such rigorous investigation of their quality, condition and authenticity. Every item is checked by one of 29 vetting committees made up of over 175 internationally respected experts.
And no where else will you find yourself in such a distinguished and stimulating company of dealers, academics, art critics, and collectors. During the week of the fair, anyone who is anyone in the field of fine art will be at TEFAF Maastricht.
TEFAF History
From its modest beginning as The Pictura Fine Art Fair in 1975, to its current position as the world’s leading fine art fair, TEFAF Maastricht has always sought to lead the way and set the standards which others follow.
Apart from continually improving the breadth, quality and display of the items for sale, it has presented memorable exhibitions and made ground breaking initiatives in the way the fine art world does business.
It pioneered the music and lecture programmes and has taken the initiative on issues as diverse as VAT and vetting procedures. The pre eminent position of TEFAF Maastricht today is, as you will see, a result of much hard work over many years.
