TEFAF MAASTRICHT 2009

AIDA
Pietro Calvi

This year's TEFAF opened with some trepidation as we were naturally worried about the effect of the world wide recession, however we did not have one single discussion about the credit crunch, which was very refreshing!

THE TRAVELER
Ernest Meissonier

The only reference to losses in the stock market were from clients who remarked: "I just wish I had bought some sculptures that I really liked on your stand over the years, instead of investing so heavily in the markets. I would then have had something lovely to look at and a valuable asset."

Notable sales this year included The Traveler by Ernest Meissonier (left), The Hand of the Pianist by Auguste Rodin, Aida by Pietro Calvi (above right), and the Abduction of Hippodamie by Rodin & Carrier Belleuse.

TEFAF 2009 Opening Evening

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 09:44:16 +0000

THE ATHLETE
Auguste Rodin

Last night marked the opening of the annual TEFAF art fair in Maastricht, The Netherlands. The fair opened with a large and excited group of art lovers. There was that special mix of museum curators, international art collectors and the cream of European society.

Our stand this year was a return to our Romantic roots in response to the demand from our regular TEFAF patrons for more works from the 19th century.

THE TRAVELER
Ernest Meissonier

As usual our works by Auguste Rodin were greatly admired, especially the cast of the American Athlete, one of the earliest casts of this subject.

The sales highlight of the opening proved to be the cast of The Traveller or Marshal Ney by Meissonier, well known by Europeans familiar with the original wax in the Musee D'Orsay, and by Americans for the cast in the National Gallery in Washington (cast Number 31). Bought by a regular customer of the gallery who has always admired the example in the National Gallery, our cast Number 27 proved too much of a temptation.

The fair continues until 22nd of March.
