TEFAF
MAASTRICHT—The major international art show TEFAF
Maastricht will take place March 16–24, 2019, and will
once again feature a number of the most important galleries
in the non-European art fi eld. This year there will be
six in our fi eld, among them Galerie Monbrison, which will
present a selection of important works, among them a female
Fang-Ngumba reliquary fi gure from Equatorial Guinea
formerly in the Kunin Collection. High-quality works
will also be prominent with the other fi ve dealers—Galerie
Meyer, Galerie Bernard de Grunne, Galerie Bernard Dulon,
Galerie Didier Claes, and Galerie Lucas Ratton. Didier
Claes will once again focus on the arts of the Congo with
a group of artworks that includes a beautiful Kongo power
fi gure and a Songye kifwebe mask. Galerie Lucas Ratton
will highlight the art of Côte d’Ivoire and will present an
Attie fi gure of strikingly volumetric form, while a highlight
of Bernard Dulon’s display will be a remarkably refi ned
Baule female fi gure from the Dimbokro area that was in
the collection of American dealer Charles Davis for more
than forty years.
Another dealer, Martin Doustar, will be exhibiting in
the “Showcase” portion of TEFAF. In keeping with his
eclectic taste, he is preparing a presentation that will focus
primarily on ancient art—including a gold Quimbaya
maskette from Colombia—but which will also include a
few carefully selected of works from Oceania and Africa.
