Philosophy...
From its modest beginning as The Pictura Fine Art Fair in 1975, to its current position as the world’s leading fine art fair, TEFAF Maastricht has always sought to lead the way and set the standards which others follow.
Apart from continually improving the breadth, quality and display of the items for sale, it has presented memorable exhibitions and made ground breaking initiatives in the way the fine art world does business.
It pioneered the music and lecture programmes and has taken the initiative on issues as diverse as VAT and vetting procedures. The pre eminent position of TEFAF Maastricht today is, as you will see, a result of much hard work over many years.
Background...
In 1985 the international antiques fair in Valkenburg and the international Pictura in Maastricht were merged to form Antiquairs International and Pictura Fine Art Fair.
Pictura, which featured paintings, prints and drawings, had been set up in 1975, Antiqua had been running as an antiques fair since 1978.
In 1988 the Fair moved its venue to the MECC in Maastricht and took its present name, TEFAF, which stands for The European Fine Art Fair.
