Staff Writer Wouldn’t be cool to have one of the most prestigious art fairs right here in America’s New York? Well that just might happen. May of 2017 New York is partnering with Tefaf Maastricht, Europe’s biggest fine art fair. This event is Netherlands based and are planning to expand into New York. This event is organized by the European fine art foundation, a nonprofit organization. They are partnering with the New York art adviser. The fairs will replace the armory's international fine art and antique show. Each fair will contain about 80-90 exhibits. Kendall Baldwin a 7th grader at Lakeridge says “It’s good that it’s expanding to New York because it’s a very artistic state and there are a lot of good artistic influences that could positively impact the artists.” Tefaf Maastricht has been around since 1978. They have just recently been looking for a partner. “Among the different possibilities Tefaf has explored over the past couple years, this partnership with artvest in the park avenue armory in New York really stood out. As the world’s most buoyant art market, New York is a perfect match.” Said Patrick Van Maris, Chief executive of Tefaf. They have finally found their art appreciating match. They both agreed to focus on high end modern art and design. It will be located at the park avenue armoury. New York is pretty excited about the expanding, and so are a lot of people.
