tefaf new york must see 2639891

TEFAF New York returns to the Park Avenue Armory from May 9–13, 2025, featuring 91 exhibitors from around the world. The fair presents a broad range of modern and contemporary art, jewelry, antiquities, and design, with highlights including an untitled canvas by Shirley Jaffe at Galerie Nathalie Obadia, a ceramic bird sculpture by Guidette Carbonell at Lebreton Gallery, a Roman marble head of a bearded god at Charles Ede, and design pieces such as Zaha Hadid's Liquid Glacial coffee table at David Gill Gallery and Josef Frank's 'Flora' chest of drawers at Modernity Stockholm. The event also includes curated displays in the venue's historic period rooms, a feature unique to this fair.

This edition matters because TEFAF New York remains a key destination for high-end cross-collecting, bridging ancient artifacts, modern masters, and contemporary design under one roof. The fair's curated period-room presentations and the inclusion of 13 first-time exhibitors signal its continued relevance in the global art market, offering collectors and enthusiasts a curated journey through time and collecting categories. Managing Director Dominique Savelkoul's leadership underscores the fair's commitment to quality and diversity.
