Dear ,

Everyone is hunting for new acquisitions these days. The Netherlands seem to have gained strength with the past Exota Fair.
A few new dealers participating at the TRIBAL ART FAIR AMSTERDAM at the end of the month, and also a private exhibition in Amsterdam by tribal art expert J. B. Bedaux.
I would like to be there, but I will travel in the North of Italy.

Enjoy this month's articles.

David Norden.
