Myrrhbearers of Park Avenue: Highlights from TEFAF New York Fall 2018
by David Cohen
Now a twice-yearly fixture at the Park Avenue Armory, its New York franchise, the tony Dutch fair known colloquially as Maastricht from the southern Dutch town where it has been held since 1988 brings quality offerings from across the globe and the centuries. There’s a steep entry price of $55 but once you’re in it feels worth it as you settle into the game of spending a fantasy million and work your way through the goodies on offer. I haven’t done the sums, but here’s a wishlist from which to choose from this season’s installment. Thanks to Brenda Zlamany for taking some of the photos.
