With nearly 100 galleries participating, TEFAF New York is back at the Park Avenue Armory. It's about one-third the size of the Maastricht fair. The focus here is on modern and contemporary art with lots of familiar galleries: Van de Weghe, Axel Vervoordt, David Zwirner, Pace, Di Donna, but there's something for everyone's taste, like fine art paintings at the Richard Green gallery from London. This year, I am particularly interested in the design aspect of this fair. Galerie Mitterrand from Paris is showcasing a stunning collection of works by Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne. Fun fact: the gallery’s owner is a relative of the former French president. And if you want to learn about ceramics, take a listen to my interview with artist Kate Malone at the Adrian Sassoon gallery booth. Lastly, Edmondo di Robilant speaks about his gallery Robilant+Voena. New York, NY March 16, 2023

TEFAF Maastricht 2023
This March, TEFAF Maastricht edition returned in full force with 270 exhibitors in its original time slot (last year, it happened in June due to COVID). The fair mainly features antiques, but there is also a modern and contemporary section. This time, I spent more time at the fair and spoke with several galleries, a small sampling of each. Molly Dorkin Taylor of Dickinson Gallery, Alexandre Pingel of Pingel Rare Books, Vanessa Wildenstein of Wildenstein & Company Co., and Charles Geoffrion of Galerie Mennour gave me an overview of their galleries and the current offerings. I also met officials of the TEFAF organization. Paul van den Biesen spoke about the work of the TEFAF Museum Restoration Fund. And last but not least, I got to talk to the chairman of TEFAF executive board, Hidde van Seggelen. Maastricht March 13-17, 2023
