Rare finds abound at The American International Fine Art Fair (AIFAF), slated for February 3-8, 2010 at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. The only American international art and antiques fair rated 5-stars by The Art Newspaper, AIFAF has established itself as a premier destination for sophisticated dealers and collectors. The fair has emerged as the most prestigious art and antique show in the United States and has been recognized as the “crown jewel” of American art fairs. As one of the world’s leading sources for museum-quality paintings, sculpture, and antiques, AIFAF reflects traditional, modern and contemporary collecting trends. Eighty dealers from more than a dozen countries including Great Britain, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria convene in the tony enclave of the Palm Beaches to showcase their finest offerings, all strictly vetted.

Dealers exhibiting important old master, 18th and 19th century paintings include Richard Green Gallery, Waterhouse & Dodd, S. Bohm Antiquitäten (Berthe Morisot’s Jeune Fille En Blanc), MacConnal-Mason Gallery, Messum’s Fine Art (The Harvesters, an imposing canvas by the artist Lucy Elizabeth Kemp-Welch), Guarisco Gallery (Emile Munier’s Pardon, Mama), Simon Capstick-Dale Fine Art, Salis & Vertes, Rehs Galleries (La Moisson by Léon-Augustin Lhermitte), Lawrence Steigrad Fine Arts and Trinity House (a rare and mysterious horse & rider portrait painted in 1781 by renowned British equine painter George Stubbs, once owned by famous American art collector Paul Mellon).

Contemporary and modern art is strongly featured by dealers including Rudolf Budja Galerie, Galerie Terminus and Galerie Thomas (Le Coq Fleuri by Marc Chagall). Goedhuis Contemporary displays striking artwork by China’s contemporary artists and Robert Hall features the work of Lu Shoukun, one of the most important artists in the history of Hong Kong.
