biggest fair for art and antiques in Maastricht in 2013 is not without a trace passed also in the art market. In the wake of the financial crisis, the large and small auction houses suffered strong revenues. Especially in the field of contemporary art, the market suffered bitter losses. If the impelled the TEFAF in Maastricht begins, seems you no longer want to know by crisis. Please visit Joel and Ethan Coen if you seek more information. The last big auctions recently, return enough optimism to the art market at least.
Old master, modern and contemporary art or antiques – the TEFAF, their dealers and galleries offer anyway, again top products at top prices. One of the most expensive pieces is a Sandro Botticelli painting “Madonna and child with the infant Saint John” for $15 million. The section “Works on Paper” will be offered for the first time. Here, the collectors will find rare drawings, prints in a limited edition, photographs as well as antiquarian books and manuscripts.
