TEFAF CURATED 2017
LA GRANDE HORIZONTALE
THE THIRD EDITION OF TEFAF CURATED WILL BE CURATED BY PENELOPE CURTIS, DIRECTOR OF THE CALOUSTE GULBENKIAN MUSEUM, LISBON. THE SECTION WILL HOST A SELECTED GROUP OF GALLERIES EACH EXHIBITING WORKS BY CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS ON THE THEME OF THE RECLINING OR RECUMBENT FIGURE.

TEFAF Curated aims to show works by artists that have previously not shown at the fair and is designed to complement the fair’s modern and contemporary section.

La Grande Horizontale
The recumbent figure as a motif has been in continuous use since ancient times. One of the unique characteristics of this form is the way in which it can simultaneously represent life and death, with images of fertility and fecundity as common as those of grief and commemoration. The motif also makes connections with nature and is often a feature of decorative schemes connected with parks, gardens, as well as the urban landscape.

TEFAF Maastricht is known for providing an unrivalled forum where historical connections are made and discovered. Under the unifying theme of the recumbent figure, Curtis aims to reflect on periods from the Antique to the present, enabling links to be made with works of different eras thus underlining the unparalleled depth and range of TEFAF Maastricht.
