Nanne Dekking, our founder and CEO, is also chairman of TEFAF and spent the last week in Maastricht. He was joined by our CTO Artashes Torosyan and our Product Manager and Catalogue Raisonné Expert Anna Bews. Not only did they visit the fair and enjoyed some fabulous works of art, but they also met with art industry professionals to discuss the future of the art market and how Artory will play a role in it.

On top of an already busy schedule, Nanne has given some interviews and his work as chair of TEFAF was reported on. The following selection will highlight the positive echo towards Nanne’s vision for a more transparent art market. Without further ado, let’s hear from Nanne himself how he became TEFAF chairman:

We selected a few samples from this week’s press coverage:
