Established in 1988, TEFAF is widely regarded as the world’s pre-eminent organization for fine art, antiques, and design. TEFAF runs two Fairs internationally - TEFAF Maastricht, which covers 7,000 years of art history, and TEFAF New York, focused on modern and contemporary art & design. TEFAF gives international dealers the platform to present museum-quality works of all eras and genres to a broad base of collectors and connoisseurs. In addition to its annual TEFAF Maastricht fair in March at the MECC (Maastricht Exhibition & Congress Center) in the Netherlands, TEFAF expanded to the United States in October 2016. It presents an additional Fair - TEFAF New York - held in May, in the global art center, New York City.
