TAF Amsterdam
For the 22nd edition of the Tribal Art Fair (TAF), from 24 to 27 October, twenty ethnographic dealers will exhibit in De Duif in Amsterdam. The TAF is known among collectors and enthusiasts for the quality and variety of its offerings. The fair attracts visitors from all over the world.
How does a Luba fortune teller from Congo use a Kakishi, an openwork wooden figure, to ask the right questions? Why does carrying a karahut give the Abelam of Papua New Guinea the strength of a wild boar? Tattoos, made with wooden carved stamps as an example, are important to the Dayak from Borneo. But what is the function of these body decorations in the afterlife?
If you are curious about what these objects-with-a-story look like, come visit the TAF in Amsterdam. At the fair, traders display their best objects from Africa, Asia, Oceania and South America. The range varies from shields and utensils from New Guinea, jewellery and textiles from Asia as well as statues and masks from Africa. Unique works of art and artefacts can be found in all price categories.
