Will Korner on Why TEFAF Remains One of the Art World’s Most Distinctive Fairs
About this episode
In this episode, Adam Green interviews Will Korner about the distinctive nature of TEFAF and its role in the art fair landscape.
In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with Will Korner, Head of Fairs at TEFAF, following the conclusion of TEFAF Maastricht and ahead of TEFAF New York this May. Known for its unparalleled breadth, TEFAF offers a unique art fair experience where visitors can encounter everything from Old Master paintings and antiquities to historic jewelry and cutting edge contemporary art all within a single fair. Adam and Will discuss what makes TEFAF Maastricht such a distinctive event in today’s crowded art fair landscape, how the latest edition performed commercially, the role contemporary art now plays within the fair, why TEFAF has largely avoided the conversation around art fair fatigue, and what collectors and visitors can look forward to when TEFAF New York opens this spring.
