TEFAF Maastricht The World's Leading Art and Antiques Fair 2009

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.
A range of cultural events and special activities take place in Maastricht during TEFAF. From concerts to lectures and exhibitions within the fair as well as in and around Maastricht, they provide the ideal way to entertain and be informed about the wider issues of the world of fine art.
No where else will you find such an elegantly displayed selection of genuine masterpieces from over 220 of the world’s most prestigious international dealers.

A new section for design at TEFAF
Eight of the world’s leading specialist dealers will form TEFAF Design, including a number who have never exhibited at TEFAF previously. This special section will be devoted to 20th century design and applied arts.
Twentieth century design and applied arts are increasingly popular and for the first time TEFAF Maastricht will have a section entirely dedicated to these stylish modern pieces. TEFAF Maastricht constantly evolves to reinforce its position as the world’s most influential art and antiques fair and TEFAF Design, as the new section is called, is being introduced to strengthen its appeal in a field which attracts a growing number of collectors, museum curators as well as professional decorators.
Eight of the world’s leading specialist dealers will form TEFAF Design, including a number who have never exhibited at The European Fine Art Fair previously. Among the latter will be Sebastian + Barquet from New York and London, Galerie Eric Philippe from Paris, Galerie Ulrich Fiedler of Berlin, L’Arc en Seine from Paris and Bel Etage Kunsthandel of Vienna.


Charity
The Rembrandt Society has been in existence for 125 years. To mark this event TEFAF donated the Rembrandt Society €50,000 for the acquisition of a work of art at the fair for a Dutch public collection. In the final weekend of TEFAF 2008 the Rijksmuseum submitted a request to the Rembrandt Society for the purchase of an ensemble—a double portrait and a medallion that was being offered at TEFAF by Kunsthandel P. de Boer, Amsterdam. The double portrait was painted in 1689 by Michiel van Musscher. It shows Isaac Pontanus giving his grandson Hendrik van Beek a gold medallion on the occasion of his eighth birthday. It will be donated to the Rijksmuseum and will also benefit the Amsterdams Historisch Museum.
