TEFAF: The European Fine Art Foundation

We would rather be mingling with art lovers at TEFAF Maastricht!
TEFAF (The European Fine Art Foundation) is the world's leading arts and antiques fair, held in
the Netherlands second-oldest city, Maastricht. Only the very finest art and antiques are
offered for sale at the fair, which is housed at the MECC - Maastricht Exhibition and Congress
Centre.
When WJ attended the fair in 2008, we were amazed and in awe of the magnitude of the fair
and number of antiques showcased - somewhere between 15,000 and 35,000 objects are on
display in an area spanning approximately 300,000 sq ft and with a value of well over $1
billion. This was like being in a massive museum where you could purchase any object that
took your fancy.
We were not there on a buying trip, but to observe and explore. In doing so we witnessed a
Frenchman purchasing a chair for approximately Euro 60,000, that he believed would be a nice
addition to his office in Paris. Well, of course it would be!
