MAASTRICHT.- Over the past 20 years The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF) held annually in the Dutch city of Maastricht has undergone an extraordinary transformation from a little known art and antiques show to one of the most important events in the international art market calendar attracting collectors and connoisseurs from all over the world. TEFAF will open its doors for the 20th time from 9th to 18th March at the MECC (Maastricht Exhibition and Congress Centre), an important moment in its history that will provide an opportunity to reflect on how far the fair has come over the past two decades. The number of 220 dealers has more than doubled since 1988 while visitor figures last year (over 84,000) were more than four times as many as at the first TEFAF.
