Tribal Art Fair AMSTERDAM—The fourteenth annual Amsterdam Tribal Art Fair (TAF) will be held from October 27–30 in the beautiful setting of the De Duif church. Known for its convivial atmosphere and for being frequented by professionals in the fi eld in search of the elusive bargain, TAF, at which twenty international galleries will show this year, continues to be an excellent place to develop and nourish an interest in collecting textiles, jewelry, masks, and all kinds of ritual arts from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. Autumn in London LONDON—While the tribal art spotlight is defi nitely trained on Paris in September, it will move its focus to London the following month. From October 3–9, PAD London will be held in Berkeley Square in the heart of Mayfair and will showcase twentieth–century art, design, and decorative and tribal art. This year it will host three galleries from Paris that relate to the latter fi eld. Galerie Mermoz, specializing in Pre-Columbian art, and Galerie Lucas Ratton and Galerie Monbrison, both showing primarily African art, will be among its participants. At almost exactly the same time, from October 6–9, afi cionados can also visit Galerie Monbrison at Frieze Masters in Regent’s Park. Participating for the fi rst time, the Paris gallery will bring a variety of high-quality artworks, including a remarkable Northwest Coast mask. The six major tribal art galleries that exhibited at the fourth annual Frieze Masters in 2015—Didier Claes, Bernard de Grunne, Donald Ellis, Entwistle, Bernard Dulon, and Anthony Meyer—all have confi rmed that they will be showing again, each presenting artworks that exceed the high standards that this important fair has established in such a short time.
