A total of 88 galleries and creators from 15 countries across four continents will participate in the 10th edition of TEFAF New York, taking place May 15–19. Among them are five exhibitors specializing in contemporary and vintage jewelry: Didier Ltd., FD Gallery, Forms, Hemmerle and Ana Khouri.
Didier and Martine Haspeslagh, founders of Didier Ltd., are longtime participants at both the New York and Maastricht fairs organized by The European Fine Art Foundation. Their London gallery specializes in jewelry created by modern masters—including painters, sculptors and designers—sourced on the secondary market. The gallery helped establish this niche and remains one of the leading voices in the category.
Among the works on view will be Concetto Spaziale Taglio (circa 1960–1962) by Lucio Fontana. The unique 18-karat gold bangle is designed as an ovoid form incised with Fontana’s signature slash motif and mounted on a curved band.
