New York City, US, May 5 (EFE).- Art dealers and collectors arrived in New York City on Thursday for The European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF) fair, the most exclusive in the market and which leads the industry’s convention season in the Big Apple.
The Colombian León Tovar, one of the most recognized promoters of Latin American art and who has his gallery in New York, told EFE that during the pandemic there was no choice but to “learn to sell online – but people want to touch and look.”
Tovar, who has presented at TEFAF New York since its inception in 2016 and also for several years in Maastricht, highlighted the “demanding” process to be an exhibitor, in which a committee of 200 experts evaluates the selection offered before giving the green light.
