Arie Zwart not fit for Tefaf

Art dealer Willem de Winter praised a painting by Arie Zwart in a populair Dutch art program.
Arie Zwart is a very good painter, who's fame is increasing, Winter said, and he was right. Yet art dealers like Winter wouldn't dare to display paintings by the artist on art shows like Pan or Tefaf. They know already in advance that these will not pass the jury. (It seems that an English Tefaf juror once tried to have all the paintings of Jan Sluijters removed, them being ... "Not of interest to the Tefaf public" ...) This painting (60 x 50 cm) was made by Zwart in Ibiza, where he repeatedly stayed. It was for sale at Derksen Auction Company in Arnhem.
