TEFAF New York Spring Debuts at Park Avenue Armory with European Flair and Eclectic Mix
The Spring edition of TEFAF New York commenced at Park Avenue Armory and will continue until Monday, operating from noon to 8 PM, with tickets priced at $50, or $25 at a discounted rate. Since its inception in 1988 in Maastricht, the European Fine Art Fair sought a U.S. location, leading to its expansion into New York. The drill hall of the Armory has been reimagined, featuring Victorian decor now serving as exhibitor spaces. Di Donna presented a Surrealist feast with works by Wayne Thiebaud. The fair showcased a blend of antiques and contemporary items, including Black African artifacts and modern furnishings. Notable pieces included Otto Dix's portrait at Richard Nagy, works by Barbara Hepworth and Bridget Riley at Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert, and Jean Prouvé's bureau at Laffanour Galerie Downtown.
