TEFAF New York Spring 2022

Axel Vervoordt is pleased to participate in the eighth edition of TEFAF New York at the Park Avenue Armory, which takes place on May 6-10, 2022, with an invitation-only preview on May 5th. This year’s presentation features a selection of paintings and sculptures, each bearing witness to their respective origins in time and place with an interconnected sensitivity related to timeless aesthetics and achievements in materiality, proportions, and abstraction.

A significant highlight is Kazuo Shiraga’s, Chiyusei Seibokukan (1961), part of the “Shuihuzhuan warrior” series and a highly dynamic work of exceptional expressiveness. Additionally, a large alabaster head of a woman from ancient South Arabia (3rd – 1st century B.C.) possesses a striking contemporary aspect, with its monumental frontality, abstract features, asymmetric lines, and powerful gaze. The presentation also includes important works by international artists, such as César, Chung Chang-Sup, Raimund Girke, Zoran Music, Yuko Nasaka, Otto Piene, and others.
