The European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF) has announced that Bart Drenth has stepped down as Managing Director.
Drenth, who joined TEFAF in February 2022, will focus on his longtime consulting advisory, Bart Drenth Advies, established in 2014. The Board will announce its leadership plan for the foundation and two international art fairs in the coming weeks.
“The board is grateful to Bart for his accomplishments achieved as Managing Director of TEFAF,” says Hidde van Seggelen, President of the TEFAF Executive Committee. “Bart joined TEFAF at a time of great upheaval and transition caused by the pandemic when the art market and fairs were just returning to business. Despite these challenges, Bart’s leadership, fiscal discipline, and efforts to align and structure the team led to stability and progress for TEFAF.
This year, TEFAF held two successful editions in Maastricht and New York, indicating that the foundation and fairs are well-positioned going forward. The board wishes Bart all the best in his future endeavors and thanks him for his service to TEFAF.”
