From 14 – 19 March David Aaron will exhibit at TEFAF Maastricht art fair located at stand 804 in MECC Maastricht conference center. TEFAF Maastricht is widely regarded as the world’s premier fair for fine art, antiques, and design, and brings together 7,000 years of art history at the one fair.  

David Aaron has been exhibiting at TEFAF Maastricht since 2022 and will once again present a suite of significant pieces of antiquity with exceptional provenance and condition spanning Roman, Greek, Egyptian, and Near Eastern cultures.   
 
Stele of MedeiaStele of Medeia

Highlights will include a remarkable rare Greek stele dated circa 375-350 B.C. - one of very few surviving examples dedicated to a Parthenos, a young Athenian woman of marriageable age who has not yet wed.

What makes this work extraordinary is its rarity. The term Parthenoi refers to the brief transitional period between childhood and entry into adulthood through marriage making depictions on Greek stele scarce and the number of known Parthenoi steles make up a very small percentage of academia studying the subject matter.

Further highlights include a Roman Torso of a Youth from the 1st-2nd century A.D. from the collection of Italian art dealer Stefano Bardini. Research by David Aaron uncovered new provenance for the Torso of a Youth dating back to 1898, through historic images in gallerist Stefano Bardini’s innovative photographic archive.

Finally, David Aaron will present an Egyptian Limestone Baboon from 664-343 B.C., 26th-30th Dynasty, Late Period. Baboons were highly regarded in ancient Egypt as an embodiment of Thoth, god of the moon and also as an adviser to Ra the sun god. This particular piece is dedicated to the role of the baboon in the rising and setting of the sun, we know this because the baboon’s arms are positioned outstretched in solar worship.
