Artist Piet Warffemius guest at Tribal Design
Tribal Design is proud to exhibit the works of Dutch artist Piet Warffemius in combination with recent tribal acquisitions.
Nature is an important theme in the versatile oeuvre of Warffemius. In many of his works we see references to plants and trees. The abstraction is often far-reaching, resulting in simply stylized trees and trunks with a few branches, sometimes with a leaf attached, reduced to their essence. Warffemius creates statues, drawings and paintings.
Since 2005 he is a member of the ‘Potsdamer grupe’, a German-Dutch group of artist friends. Regulary they exhibit together. Members include Hubertus von der Golz, Frank Michael Zeidler, Armando and Sjoerd Buisman.
Looking back: Tribal Art Fair 2024
The opening of the Tribal Art fair on the 24th of October was a vibrant gathering of collectors, dealers and other art lovers from all over Europe. The iconic church building ‘De Duif’ on Prinsengracht was for four days the epicentre of tribal art. Twenty-one dealers in tribal art showed their finest pieces. Also, each day, special programmes were listed featuring lectures and films. The Tribal Art Fair is popular by collectors and dealers looking for high-end pieces as well as affordable additions to their collections. Also in 2024, Tribal Design participated, showing many new and exclusive objects and ended up in quite some sales. The fair in 2025 will again be a tribal event not to be missed by the serious collector! Save the date: 23-26 October 2025. Keep an eye on the website www.tribalartfair.nl for more news on participants and lectures.
Location: De Duif, Prinsengracht 756, Amsterdam.
