HELVOIRT.- TEFAF will welcome 280 exhibitors and 5 TEFAF Showcase participants to its flagship Fair TEFAF Maastricht in 2020. Following a small optimisation of the floor plan, the organisation is able to accept more dealers overall to participate in the Fair, which has contributed to a more international and diverse exhibitor line up. Of the 280 exhibitors 25 are new, and between all participants, institutional and private collectors will have an unrivalled opportunity to view and buy art from 7,000 years of art history. TEFAF Maastricht 2020 takes place from 7 – 15 March 2020 (Early Access day on 5 March, Preview Day on 6 March) at the MECC (Maastricht Exhibition and Congress Centre), Maastricht, The Netherlands.

TEFAF Maastricht provides a commercial platform for the international art community, celebrating the expertise and diversity within the art market and creating an essential meeting place for collectors and professionals. Whilst already a must-visit Fair for private and institutional collectors, TEFAF wanted to provide as much space as possible within the Fair for exhibitors. It has achieved this re-purposing the locations of the TEFAF Loan Exhibition (previously in TEFAF Paper) and Restaurant Verdi to create further space for exhibitor stands. In addition, following a major re-calibration in 2019, TEFAF Modern continues to attract a number of the world’s leading dealers in modern and contemporary art, while TEFAF Design and TEFAF Tribal continue to be mixed together following a successful trial last year. Collectively these updates help ensure TEFAF Maastricht remains a must-visit Fair for collectors and connoisseurs from around the world.

The new exhibitors, some of which come from TEFAF Showcase 2019 are spread across all eight sections (TEFAF Ancient Art, TEFAF Antiques, TEFAF Design, TEFAF La Haute Joaillerie, TEFAF Modern, TEFAF Paintings, TEFAF Paper and TEFAF Tribal), and come from 12 different countries.
