TEFAF NEW YORK ANNOUNCES PARTICIPATING GALLERIES IN THE INAUGURAL EDITION OF
TEFAF | NEW YORK | FALL
Exhibitors to showcase works from antiquity through the early 20th Century at the historic Park Avenue Armory
October 21 – 26, 2016
Park Avenue Armory, New York
(New York) June 10, 2016 – International art fair, TEFAF | New York | Fall, a joint venture between TEFAF Maastricht and Artvest Partners, announces gallery participants for its inaugural edition, taking place at the historic Park Avenue Armory from Friday, October 21 through Wednesday, October 26, 2016. The fair will feature 93 leading dealers of fine art, design, furniture and jewelry from antiquity through the early 20th Century.
Applications for TEFAF | New York | Fall 2016 were open to galleries from around the world. The new fair was met with such enthusiasm, that the organization received a multiple of applications for the number of spaces available for such a prime midtown Manhattan location. A Selection Committee was formed and a review process created to provide a balanced and objective analysis of each gallery’s qualifications and potential fit for a New York-based fair.
The Selection Committee was comprised of four members of the Board of Trustees of TEFAF Maastricht and four external experts from the US, who represented different sectors of the art world. The Selection Committee’s recommendations were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors of TEFAF New York.
The resulting list of 2016 exhibitors are leaders in their respective fields internationally, a number of them either showing for the first time in New York, or returning after a long absence. Exhibitions will flow throughout the Armory’s landmark building encompassing the Wade Thompson Drill Hall and extending to both the first and second floors of the Armory’s period rooms, creating a fair of unprecedented depth and impact in New York City. Tom Postma Design, celebrated for its innovative work with leading museums, galleries, and art fairs, has developed designs for the fair that interplay with the spectacular spaces while giving them a lighter, contemporary look and feel.
The beneficiaries of the Opening Night Reception on October 21 will be the Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering as well as the acclaimed cultural programs produced by the Park Avenue Armory.
TEFAF will release more information about the programming and partnerships with prominent and upcoming international cultural players in the next few months.
TEFAF | New York | Spring, a second annual fair focused on Modern and Contemporary Art and Design, will premier in May 2017 and run from Thursday, May 4 through Tuesday, May 9.

About Park Avenue Armory
Part palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory fills a critical void in the cultural ecology of New York by enabling artists to create, students to explore, and audiences to experience, unconventional work that cannot be mounted in traditional performance halls and museums. With its soaring 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall-reminiscent of 19th-century European train stations-and array of exuberant period rooms, the Armory offers a new platform for creativity across all art forms.
Since its first production in September 2007-Aaron Young’s Greeting Card, a 9,216-square-foot “action” painting created by the burned-out tire marks of 10 choreographed motorcycles—the Armory has organized a series of immersive performances, installations, and works of art that have drawn critical and popular attention. Among the highlights of its first eight years are: Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s harrowing Die Soldaten, in which the audience moved “through the music”; the unprecedented six-week residency of the Royal Shakespeare Company in their own theater rebuilt in the drill hall; a massive digital sound and video environment by Ryoji Ikeda; a sprawling gauzy, multi-sensory labyrinth created by Ernesto Neto; the event of a thread, a site-specific installation by Ann Hamilton; the final performances of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company across three separate stages; the New York Philharmonic performing Karlheinz Stockhausen’s sonic masterpiece Gruppen with three orchestras surrounding the audience; WS by Paul McCarthy, a monumental installation of fantasy, excess, and dystopia; a sonic environment that blurred the boundaries between artist and audience created by The xx; an immersive Macbeth set in a Scottish heath and henge by Rob Ashford and Kenneth Branagh; tears become…streams become…, a genre-defying collaboration between artist Douglas Gordon and pianist Hélène Grimaud, which flooded the Armory’s drill hall with an installation of water, light, and music; and HABEAS CORPUS, a performance and installation by Laurie Anderson based on the story of a former Guantanamo Bay detainee that examines lost identity, memory, and the resiliency of the human body and spirit. Since 2013 the Armory’s annual recital series, which is set in the Belle Époque salon setting of the historic Board of Officers Room, continues to showcase and celebrate talent from across the globe.
The Armory’s arts education initiative offers programs at no cost to underserved New York City public school students and includes Production-based Programming, in which students attend major productions of music, theater, dance and visual art, and participate in pre- and post-visit workshops with the Armory’s talented corps of teaching artists; School Partnership Initiative, in which deeper relationships with underserved public schools are created through attendance at productions, in-school residencies, workshops and end-of-term events in the Armory’s historic rooms; and the Armory Youth Corps, a paid and closely-mentored internship program focusing on at-risk high school students.
Concurrent with the development of its artistic program, the Armory has undertaken an ongoing $210-million revitalization of its historic building, designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron. www.armoryonpark.org.
