Last week I visited the Art Cologne, the biggest German fair for contemporary art, with my girlfriends. After negative press during the last two years, the fair was able to recover and showed some good pieces. Voila a few impressions:
The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF), which is the world's most prestigious art and antiques fair, is going to take place from the 13. - 22.03 here in Maastricht. I went there last year for the first time and was speachless about the incredible masterpieces showcased, most of which you would actually expect to see in a Museum. Last year's highlight was a van Gogh painting priced at 30 million Euros; so these are the dimension were are actually talking about!
When I was in Paris two weeks ago, I visited the Sonia Rykiel exhibit in Les Arts Decoratifs. This first major retrospective of Rykiel's work was organized on the occasion of her 4oth anniversary. The exhibit showcases her various creations since 1986, combined with fashion photographs and runway videos. I really enjoyed it, as it brings you a bit closer to this fascinating women, who revolutionized the fashion scene and paved the way for more freedom of expression in clothing.
