At TEFAF Maastricht 2025, the Musée du Louvre acquired Betty Josefine Jacobine Bloem und Friderike Luisa Bloem by Johann Richard Seel from Gallery 19C, while the Germanisches Nationalmuseum secured the Newbattle Abbey Casket from Georg Laue. These recent acquisitions offer a glimpse into decision-making that defines institutional collecting today.
