VISITS 25th EDITION OF TEFAF MAASTRICHT
MAASTRICHT. QUEEN BEATRIX of the Netherlands visited TEFAF Maastricht today (Wednesday) as the world’s finest art and antiques fair prepares to celebrate its Silver Jubilee. Her Majesty arrived for a visit to The European Fine Art Fair at the MECC (Maastricht Exhibition and Congress Centre) in the southern Netherlands the day before it opens its doors for a private view for leading collectors and museum curators. TEFAF was founded 25 years ago and has grown from a relatively small event to a fair where 265 dealers from 19 countries exhibit an extraordinary range of magnificent art and antiques.
The Queen was escorted around TEFAF Maastricht by Willem, Baron van Dedem, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The European Fine Art Foundation, which runs TEFAF Maastricht. She was introduced to the Fair’s Executive Committee, leading members of the vetting committees which ensure the high quality and authenticity of all exhibits, Tom Postma, the Fair’s designer, and some of the founders who set up TEFAF 25 years ago.
The Royal visit was part of a series of events marking the Silver Jubilee of TEFAF Maastricht, which will be open to the public from 16-25 March. These include a symposium to discuss the art market on Friday 16 March, the setting up of a TEFAF Restoration Fund to help museums restore works of art, the publication of a book about the Fair and an exhibition of works of art sold at TEFAF in the Museum aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht.
