Decorative flowers, white wines and newly shouted oysters, made for typical scenes at the European Fine Arts Foundation (TEFAF), Yesterday, March 13, the first of the VIP preview day.
Now, in his 38th edition, Tefaf Maastricht is home to the elderly of 2025 Art Fair World and has a great reputation in the industry. The claim to represent the fair “7,000 years of art” is not a serious declaration of intentions that achieves significant consistency. From the old masters, jewelry, rare books, sculptures, antiques and contemporary art can be behaved during the MECC Convention Center.
In the 2025 edition of the fair, 273 galleries of 273 countries, curiosities and high quality elements of the museum are plentiful. As well as works by famous names such as Vincent van Gogh, Titian, Diego Velázquez and Rembrandt van Rijn, there are many works of different slices of art history everywhere. “The depth of the fair in terms of quality and also means almost something for everyone,” Robert Bowman said, the owner of Bowman sculpture, which has been visible at the quarter-century fair.

Although Tefaf may be known for historical works, it would be a mistake that the fair is not expected. The new Director General of Dominique Savelkoul (Tefaf’s fifth General Manager), Earlier Belgian Mu.zee Mu.zee, has expressed the aim of encouraging the next Generator collector of MECC. It has not been launched in the 2008 Fair Showcase section, 10 galleries that worked for 10 years this year. This year it also stands out for the fair “Insider’s Guide”, a work from € 20,000 ($ 21,728).
Contemporary art also has a strong presence in the category enough galleries to form a small fair in their own. White cubes and blue chips like Skarstedt, Marianne Bosky Gallery (New sculptures by Edward Hopper, and Ken Mihara are on a lighthouse called Kanata.

Cleaning galleries are also presented with the chances of the fairs, to buy historical components in the current programming. In the Paris Gallery in Mennour’s cabin, Alberto Giacometi and David Hockney works, along with ultra-contemporary names such as Alicja Kwade and Petrit Halilaj. “The idea is this confrontation, the porosity between modernity and antiquity,” said the Gallery Kamel Mennour Gallery owners. “I like the idea of this juxtaposition. It was very important for me to be close to that idea of what people expect to see here, I try to be men, but [a] differently. “
In fact, Tefaf’s greatest assets are its width and very large standards (its input process and veterinary committee has a terrifying reputation). Recently stock market volatility and fare changes were created in previous weeks of the fair. And yet, the gallery anxieties appeared by giving the appearance of a vortex of VIP per day. With blue chip items in the view, the most expensive work of the fair was Pablo Picasso Sleeps (1965), the $ 50 million dollar prices of the Landau art sellers hope that the initial energy of the initial energy will be found in terms of transactions.
