In Maastricht, Danielle Mckinney’s Figures Come Out of the Dark
At the opening of TEFAF Maastricht on Thursday morning, there were a few galleries that had traveled to the remote Dutch university town for the first time. While the fair is best known for Old Masters works and antiquities, first-timer exhibitor Marianne Boesky challenged the trend by bringing a group of small-scale figurative paintings by New York-based artist and photographer Danielle Mckinney.
Mckinney, 42, has seen her following surge over the last couple of years. Her paintings, many completed this year, are among a small handful of works that constitute the youngest works shown collectively at the city’s exhibition center.
