 About TEFAF

Since 2016, TEFAF - The European Fine Art Fair - has been organising a total of three major international fairs. In addition to TEFAF Maastricht, which has been held since 1988 and covers 7,000 years of art history, these include TEFAF New York in spring, with a focus on modern and contemporary art, and TEFAF New York in autumn, which shows fine arts and crafts from antiquity to 1920. Thus, three times a year, the non-profit organization TEFAF brings together international art dealers who inspire art lovers from all over the world with knowledge and passion. The variety of exquisite pieces offered at the fair is incomparable. For directors and curators of leading museums as well as private collectors from all over the world, TEFAF Maastricht is the opportunity to acquire one of the most coveted works of art.

At TEFAF, visitors discover real treasures and rarities. Antiques, modern art, furniture, jewellery, design, Gothic Madonnas, Renaissance and Baroque painting, Rococo tapestries, even Meissen porcelain and English silver, as well as African sculpture and Indian Mughal painting can be found here. Year after year, TEFAF presents an incomparable variety and mix that invites you to marvel. Buyers can also be sure of the high quality of the pieces on display, as each object is subjected to the organisation's security check before the exhibition. Particularly remarkable is the high standard of testing: here the world's best experts examine the art objects and guarantee a very high standard. During the thorough examination, authenticity, condition and allocation are the main focus.

The TEFAF Scientific Research Team assists the committee with suitable tools and scientific methods. In addition to quality control, all exhibited artworks are checked against the Art Loss Register, the largest database for stolen, lost and looted art and antiques. Art presented at TEFAF is therefore not only of the highest quality, but also completely legal.
