Rossi & Rossi, the London-based specialists in classical Indian and Himalayan works and contemporary Asian art, will be returning to TEFAF Maastricht for the first time since 1995, and will celebrate this with a spectacular exhibition. One of the highlights of their stand at TEFAF will be the beautiful eleven-headed Tibetan Avalokitèshvara dating from c1400. The 120cm high bronze figure with silver and copper inlay and inset with semi-precious stones is the largest recorded early Tibetan bronze of the iconic form of this Buddhist deity and was recently on loan to the internationally-praised exhibition Bronze at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. The bronze will go on sale at TEFAF Maastricht for a price in the region of €6 million.
Bernheimer-Colnaghi of Munich and London will be exhibiting “A Bearded Old Man with a Brown Cloak” by Jan Lievens, one of the most brilliant members of Rembrandt’s circle. This very fine Tronie, or character study, was painted about 1631 shortly before Lievens moved to the English court and has been described by the distinguished art historian Professor Werner Sumowski as “among the greatest works executed by the artist.” Galerie Odermatt-Vedovi will offer “Abstraktes Bild (780-4)”, a 1992 oil on canvas by Gerhard Richter.
Galerie Harmakhis from Brussels will be exhibiting a ushabti, a funerary figure placed in a tomb, made for Pharaoh Taharqa, an important figure in the history of Egypt who pursued an ambitious domestic and foreign policy. An unusual exhibit will be a royal food pounder or penu from 18th century Polynesia on the stand of Galerie Meyer – Oceanic Art of Paris
