Overview TEFAF New York is a vetted fair of art, design, jewelry and antiquities in the Park Avenue Armory, and in 2026 Gagosian, Thaddaeus Ropac and Levy Gorvy Dayan sold out their booths during the invitation-only Collectors Preview. Nearly 90 galleries show across the Drill Hall and the Armory's period rooms, and vetting committees examine every object before the doors open. The European Fine Art Foundation started TEFAF in Maastricht in 1988, where the March fair carries more than 280 dealers from 22 countries, and brought it to New York in October 2016. On site Stands fill the Drill Hall. Upstairs, the Reception Rooms on the first floor and the Company Rooms on the second were designed in the 19th century by Louis Comfort Tiffany, Stanford White and the Herter Brothers, and dealers hang work in them as single-room presentations; the fair uses all 16 of the Armory's period rooms. Creative Spaces put large-scale pieces outside the booth grid, and an in-person talks program runs through the fair. The Collectors Preview opens it by invitation. In 2026 that preview day was also a benefit for the Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering, and it raised $477,000. Audience The room is collectors and the institutions that buy alongside them. In 2026 more than 260 museum representatives came through, from MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, LACMA and SFMOMA among others, with more than 60 patron and trustee groups. The preview crowd that year included Anderson Cooper, Drew Barrymore, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Ryan Murphy, Jack Antonoff and Aerin Lauder. Track record The 2026 fair was the tenth anniversary edition, with nearly 90 exhibitors from 14 countries and nine first-timers.
