TEFAF is one of the most splendid art fair, a journey through art history, with museum pieces from antiques to contemporary.
This year was special due to the celebration of its 25th anniversary. The opening and first days were vibrant and dealers more enthusiastic then last year which was quite challenging for lots of them.
Here is a short selection of the artworks which enlightened my visit ...
