From March 14 through 25, 2013, 265 dealers from 19 countries will bring the best of their collections to Maastricht, in the southern part of the Netherlands.

The 2013 edition will host a loan exhibition of rarely seen drawings by Vincent van Gogh.

      One of the most notable photographers of the 20th century, Irving Penn (American, 1917–2009)  is celebrated for his compelling portraits, scenes, and still lifes, in genres ranging from fashion to travel photography.

      From an art market perspective, Penn has consistently performed well at auction, and is currently ranked number four on the all-time top selling photographers list. He is surpassed only by Andreas Gursky, Cindy Sherman, and Richard Prince.
