HELVOIRT.- TEFAF Maastricht has built its reputation as the world’s most influential art and antiques fair on the unique quality of its exhibits. The 24th edition at the MECC (Maastricht Exhibition and Congress Centre) in the southern Netherlands from 18-27 March 2011 will include great rarities and recent rediscoveries among more than 30,000 works of art, all rigorously vetted by committees of international experts. Among them will be the last fragment of an Egyptian water clock still in private hands, a painting containing one of the few self-portraits of Bernardo Bellotto, and a bronze by Gustave Courbet rediscovered after being lost for more than a century. The European Fine Art Fair also provides talented younger dealers with an opportunity to exhibit at the Fair on a one-off basis through TEFAF Showcase.
