TEFAF (The European Fine Art Fair) New York City

TEFAF New York – The European Fine Art Fair – is regarded as one of the world’s most prestigious art fairs. Since its founding in 2016, it has brought together collectors, curators, gallerists, and art enthusiasts from around the globe each year in the heart of Manhattan. Organized by the European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF), a nonprofit based in the Netherlands, the fair is dedicated to promoting the highest standards in the art market.

The event takes place at the impressive Park Avenue Armory on the Upper East Side, a historic building whose grand architecture and unique atmosphere provide an ideal setting for the fair. Visitors can expect a meticulously curated selection of artworks from the 17th to the 20th century, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, glassware, jewelry, photography, timepieces, and rare collectibles—each chosen for its quality, provenance, and rarity.

TEFAF New York welcomes both professionals and the general public, offering rare access to a world typically reserved for experts. Alongside exhibitions from leading international galleries, the fair features an engaging program of lectures and panel discussions known as TEFAF Talks. These sessions explore topics such as sustainability in the art world, new curatorial approaches, the relevance of neoclassical design in contemporary contexts, and the increasing accessibility of private collections.

Combining museum-quality presentation, global expertise, and intellectual depth, TEFAF New York is considered one of the most influential art fairs of its kind. It consistently sets new standards in both the art market and cultural discourse.

The TEFAF (The European Fine Art Fair) in New York City took place from Thursday, 08. May to Tuesday, 13. May 2025.
