Impressions of the TEFAF. The largest and most expensive art fair in ancient and modern art.

What struck me:There are more and more pieces with black people and “Moors” or “Turks”. The market is clearly changing. Hopefully a few museums will follow this tendency in the market. A number of works were sold, I heard
