A loan exhibition of 15 masterpieces from the drawings collection at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam will be a highlight at TEFAF Maastricht from March 15-24 next. This is a coup for The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF) as the Van Gogh Museum rarely exhibits works from its collection of drawings because they are so fragile. The loan exhibition at TEFAF Paper, selected by Axel Rüger, Director of the Museum, and curator Marije Vellekoop, will include works from each important phase in Van Gogh’s artistic development. It will be arranged chronologically from Van Gogh’s first ambitious drawings in The Hague, when he focused on figures and landscapes, through his impressive landscape drawings in Nuenen, to his Paris watercolours. In Arles Van Gogh achieved the pinnacle of his drawn oeuvre with reed pen landscapes, in Saint-Rémy he produced colourful drawings of the institution’s gardens while his Auvers landscape drawings are akin to his paintings in style.
The European Fine Art Fair is renowned for its commitment to excellence, expertise and elegance. In 2013 it will again have an extraordinary array of art, antiques and design pieces for sale.
