Anna@ the Tefaf Fine Art Fair

Hey dear readers
Today I wen't to the opening of the Tefaf Fine Art Fair. It's the biggest Art fair in all of Europe and held here in Maastricht. It is filled with the most beautiful modern and old art, antiques, antique jewelry etc. And the difference with a Museum is that there is so so much more than a normal museum could afford. Plus everybody is there to buy! Which makes up for some pretty absurde and special situations.

Hallo lezers
Vandaag ben ik naar de opening van de Tefaf Fine Art Fair geweest. Het is de grootste kunstbeurs van Europa en word elk jaar hier in Maastricht gehouden. Je vind er de mooist moderne en oude kunst, antiek, juwelen enz. En het verschil met een museum is dat er zo veel meer is dan een normaal museum ooit zou kunnen veroorloven, en alles is te koop! Wat zorgt voor soms hele bijzondere taferelen. 

Wat ik droeg:

Here is what I wore:



Pink chiffon dress Paul&Joe Sister, Scarf Etro, Pink pumps D&G, Golden clutch D&G, Offwhite Tights Wolford

Roze chiffon jurkje Paul&Joe Sister, Omslagdoek Etro, Roze pumps D&G, Gouden clutch D&G, Wit gehaakte panty Wolford.

Isn't the wall with roses beautiful? They have this every year, and there are thousands of beautiful tulips. Every year it is a surprise what the flowers will be, because they are at the entrance before you can see any of the Art. 

Is de muur van rozen niet prachtig? Dit hebben ze elk jaar, en ook nog eens duizenden tulpen in alle kleuren en maten. Elk jaar is het weer een verassing welke bloemen er zullen zijn, omdat dit het eerste is wat je ziet als je binnen komt. 


For my make-up I used a beautiful purple Chanel eyeshadow. Purple works so well with green eyes, absolutely a must have. Blusher and light pink lipstick are also Chanel. Lancome mascara (which is really really finished but I'm too lazy to go and get a new one) and Dior Nude foundation.

Voor mijn make-up heb ik een prachtige oogschaduw van Chanel gebruik. Paars staat zo mooi met groene ogen, absoluut een must have. De blusher en licht roze lipstick zij ook Chanel. De mascara (die echt echt op is nu) is van Lancome en de foundation van Dior Nude.


Some of my favorite exhibitors where:

Een paar van mijn favoriete stands waren.



This is a Gallery located in Amsterdam. They specialized in Modern and Contemporary art. This is also where the last picture of me with the mirror was taken. 
This mirror is a Piece by Anish Kapoor. 
By the way, that box of chocolates might not seem all that impressive, but it was almost two times as big as me, think about that.

Deze Galerij bevind zich in Amsterdam en specialiseert zich in Moderne en Conceptuele kunst. 
Dit is waar de foto met de spiegels is genomen. Deze spiegels zijn een stuk van Anish Kapoor.
Trouwens, die doos chocolaatjes? Die lijkt misschien niet zo bijzonder, maar hij was bijna 2 keer zo groot als ik, denk daar maar eens over na. 

Next.




This is a Spanish exhibitor who focuses on antique jewelry dated before 1800. Their main specialty being the Spanish Golden Age in arts, the 17th C.

This might sound a bit boring, but believe me, it will take you breath away. These pieces are created with so much care, so much craftsmanship (something you really see these days) and so much gold and precious stones. They are so delicate and survived all these ages!

This also goes for the jewelry of my next favorite.

Dit is een stand van een Spaanse handelaar die zich focust in antieke juwelen van voor 1800. Hun specialisatie is de Spaanse Gouden Eeuw, de 17e eeuw.

Dit klinkt misschien een beetje saai, maar geloof me, het is echt ongelofelijk. Deze stukken zijn gemaakt met zo veel zorg, zo veel aandacht (iets wat je nauwelijks meer ziet tegenwoordig) en zou veel goud en edelstenen! Ze zijn zo delicaat en toch hebben ze al deze eeuwen overleeft.

Dat geld ook voor de juwelen van mijn volgende favoriet. 

...

Wich I could not find online! ):
I'll add it as soon as I find it. But for now, bed time.

Die ik niet online kon vinden! ):
Ik zal hem toevoegen zodra ik hem vind. Maar voor nu, naar bed.

  2. We love visiting the museum and who wouldn't if there was a giant box of chocolates on display?! The only thing that would make it better is if you were allowed to take that box of chocolates home with you! Love your throw/scarf by the way. Where did you get it from?
