Cindy Chao, Siegelson Among New Jewelry Exhibitors At TEFAF Maastricht

The TEFAF Maastricht art fair implemented a more transparent selection procedure and show officials say this has led to 40 new exhibitors taking part in what is arguably the world's most prestigious art fair Among the new invitees are high jewelry artist, Cindy Chao, and respected jewelry and art dealers, Siegelson, FD Gallery and Symbolic & Chase The total number of exhibitors is only four more than the prior year so many of the new exhibitors are replacing those that left the fair.

The exhibitors are spread across the eight sections: TEFAF Ancient Art, TEFAF Antiques, TEFAF Design, TEFAF La Haute Joaillerie, TEFAF Modern, TEFAF Paintings, TEFAF Paper and TEFAF Tribal, and TEFAF Modern, where 14 of the 40 new exhibitors will be stationed Other new firms exhibiting at TEFAF include the New York-based, FD Gallery, antique and vintage jewelry specialists, and Symbolic & Chase, a London firm that specializes in fine jewelry from the 19th Century to the present Among the contemporary jewelers who will return is Wallace Chan, now in his fourth year at TEFAF, who is unveiling a number of new jewels at the show, including two elaborate pieces.

The TEFAF vetting process was always considered by many to be the most rigorous and demanding in the world of art fairs. . Source
