A notable update to the floor plan at TEFAF Maastricht is the integration of TEFAF Design and TEFAF Tribal – whilst still distinct sections, stands from each section have been mixed together to provide visitors with the opportunity to make exciting and dynamic connections. Laffanour – Galerie Downtown (Stand 612), part of TEFAF Design, is displaying a magnificent work by Jose Zanine Caldas (1919 – 2001), a self-taught designer. His sculpural entrance door is meticulously crafted out of tropical wood, c.1970. Claes Gallery (Stand 601) in TEFAF Tribal is showing an extraordinary work crafted from wood, this time in the form of a Songye Kifwebe Mask, from the late 19th- to early 20th- century. This work comes from a private Belgian collection and originally came from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Having taken part in TEFAF Showcase in 2018, Kallos Gallery (Stand 436) is now exhibiting in TEFAF Ancient Art, becoming one of a number of Showcase dealers that have graduated to the main Fair. The gallery is bringing an extraordinary, complete Greek bronze panoply of a cavalry man. The suit of armour would have belonged to an Italiote warrior of the Classical period (c.4th century BCE) and is one of the most complete to appear on the market for several decades.

TEFAF Maastricht welcomes six exhibitors to TEFAF Showcase in 2019 - Galerie Lowet de Wotrenge (S1), ArtAncient (S2), Mathieu Néouze (S3), Martin Doustar (S4), Santa Tecla Srl (S5) and Galerie Samantha Sellem (S6). The section is a rich source of young or recently established galleries and annually provides a dynamic section within Fair. 2019 is no exception with exhibitor Martin Doustar (S4) transforming his stand to create a small temple, within which a selection of objects from different civilisations around the world are being displayed.

TEFAF Works on Paper sees some of the most exciting studies and sketches, as well as finished works on paper to come to market. Stephen Ongpin Fine Art (Stand 724) is presenting a very late and highly finished pen, black ink and white chalk work on light brown card by Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) entitled The Artist and his Model (Le peintre et son modèle).

A powerful preparatory study for Winston Churchill’s right hand by Graham Sutherland (1903 - 1980) for his celebrated portrait commissioned by The House of Parliament in 1954 will be on offer at Christopher Kingzett (Stand 701) for £12,000. Churchill famously remarked at the ceremony in Westminster Hall that “...the portrait s a remarkable example of modern art. It certainly combines forcé and candour...”. In private he was considerably less complimentary and his displeasure led to the portrait being destroyed by his family shortly afterwards.
