Patrick Van Maris to take over TEFAF

Article
Patrick Van Maris, former director of Sotheby’s Europe, has been named as the new director general of The European Fine Art Fair (TEFAF).

Van Maris succeeds Paul Hustinx who has held the post for 17 years. More recently Van Maris has become closely involved with TEFAF working on collaborative projects notably exploring the possibility of a Beijing-based fair.

“After 26 years […] a new perspective will grant TEFAF a new lease of life,” says Hustinx who is to remain advisor to TEFAF once he has taken retirement in September of this year.
