Art & Antiques Fair 's-Hertogenbosch 2010 (18 - 25 April)

Since 1967...

More than forty years Art & Antiques Fair
Art & Antiques Fair ’s-Hertogenbosch has undergone a huge transformation during the forty-odd years of its existence. While the oldest art and antiques fair of the Netherlands started in 1967 with just six antiques dealers and took place in the Castle of Bouvigne on the outskirts of Breda, it has now become an important event that is held within the city of ’s-Hertogenbosch. The Fair features leading exhibitors from Belgium and Germany as well as from the Netherlands and attracts in the region of twenty-five thousand visitors. Yet it has retained the warm, intimate atmosphere that has characterized the Fair from the very beginning.

A wide variety of high-quality objects on offer
Art & Antiques Fair ’s-Hertogenbosch is synonymous with quality and diversity, offering an outstanding display of art and antiques dating from 2000 BC to the present day. The proportion of the Fair devoted to contemporary art has increased while interest in Asian art is still growing. Also, owing to the ever-increasing number of foreign exhibitors, there is an even greater diversity of objects on offer. Each year 60 experts make up the vetting committee which rigorously checks all items with regard to quality, condition and authenticity. Not only that, the excellent price/quality ratio of objects offered for sale and the fact that there is something to suit the taste and pockets of everyone interested in art and antiques both contribute to the ongoing success of Art & Antiques Fair ’s-Hertogenbosch.
