TEFAF TALKS
The Thrill of the Chase: Stories of Great Discoveries in Art

The Enduring Relevance of Frans Hals: The Dutch Golden Age and Today

Against renewed focus on Frans Hals, thanks to a major exhibition at the National Gallery of London and now the Rijksmuseum, this panel will explore the artist’s story and revisit his legacy, including his influence upon the Impressionists and why his work feels so very modern. Presented by Apollo Magazine.
TEFAF Summit, March 11, 9AM–2PM CET
Presented in association with the Netherlands Commission for UNESCO and supported by AXA XL, the TEFAF Summit is a platform for discourse and collaboration that explores the challenges and threats faced by our cultural heritage and the opportunity it provides to foster peace, raise awareness, and suggest solutions. The event brings together esteemed thought leaders from art, academia, government, and NGOs to engage in conversations on critical issues related to cultural heritage.
TEFAF Talks comprise interactive panel discussions to build and challenge conceptions of art history, collecting, and the art market.
