"It is simply the most beautiful fair in the world! Indeed many other dealers echo his words. From the range and quality of works on offer, from antiquities right through to contemporary art, the array of Old Master paintings, the precious objets d'art, the exceptional gems held back for this fair. It is a delight to visit and full of discoveries, from the classic to the truly quirky."
"Nevertheless, over 50,000 people make that pilgrimage every year: collectors, dealers, trustees, curators and patron groups: indeed, this year the fair attracted no less than 67 patron groups including a first outing for two London institutions: Victoria and Albert Museum patrons, led by the director Tristram Hunt, as well as the National Gallery."
The European Fine Art Fair (Tefaf) in Maastricht draws over 50,000 visitors annually despite significant travel obstacles and unfavorable conditions. The fair attracts collectors, dealers, curators, and 67 patron groups, including first-time participants from London's Victoria and Albert Museum and National Gallery. Visitors arrive via private planes and endure limited hotel accommodations in March's cold weather. Dealers and visitors consistently praise Tefaf as the world's most beautiful art fair, offering exceptional range and quality across antiquities, Old Master paintings, contemporary art, and precious objets d'art. The fair serves as a crucial connection point for dealers to reach European clientele beyond their home markets.
