The storied TEFAF, whose acronym originally stood for The European Fine Art Fair, returns to New York and the Park Avenue Armory for its spring presentation of modern and contemporary art. And while the Old Masters and momento mori galore of the fall edition are missed, the fair still showcases some gems, from a bronze and string Henry Moore, a suite of Fischli & Weiss C-prints, and, of course, roving oyster shuckers. Have a look at what’s on offer below. (And make sure to take a look at a full write-up by ARTnews reporter Nate Freeman here.)
