Affordable Art Fair

A very interesting Fair in Amsterdam. This evening it was opening night, extremely busy, extremely nice.

It is a a four day event, with over 80 galleries selling art at an affordable price, from 100 euro to max 5.000 euro.

I have seen very nice pieces, but a bit too expensive for me, but eventually bought some smaller photographs from Richard Heeps.

Although many pictures are like mine :-), the colors are great and the below were only 60 euro per piece.

One of them, actual color is much better:
