What does a 1st-century bronze run you these days? What about an ancient Egyptian wood sculpture fragment? The fall edition of TEFAF New York is one of the few occasions to survey this kind of material under one roof.
Ninety-five art and antiques dealers descended on the Park Avenue Armory to present work ranging from ancient antiquities to early 20th-century paintings. Dealers reported steady sales at the second fall edition of the fair, which came to a close on Wednesday. And as with any art fair, dealers are there to schmooze, but also to sell. Over the course of the six days, we spoke to dealers to see how they fared. (Prices were self-reported by dealers and fair representatives.)
