TJD had the honour to lead a symposium in the prestigious setting of the UBS Arts Forum, Switzerland, dedicated to the work and life of Antonio Stradivari. This Forum holds high-profile events bi-annually on the subject of Art History and research, focusing in particular on market trends and new developments in the Fine Arts world.
In this instance, neither Picasso nor Dalí were highlighted, but three outstanding Stradivari instruments of the early, golden and late period, curated by TJD. On this special occasion, we were able to demonstrate the intricate consistency as well as significant differences in Stradivari’s work, additionally analysing the monumental value development of his instruments over the past three centuries.
Our sincere thanks go to the Directors of the UBS Arts Forum and to an inquisitive audience of art historians, finance specialists as well as the many art investors and collectors from all over the world who got a first glimpse of the sheer magic and tremendous investment potential of the very finest of rare musical instruments.
