TIAF: Toronto International Art Fair 2007

October 25 to 29, 2007

The eighth annual Toronto International Art Fair was held October 25 to 29, 20007 at the Toronto Convention Centre in exciting downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. TIAF " ... is a discriminating showcase of Canadian and International works that continues to attract the attention and participation of every top gallery and cultural institution in Canada." [taifair.com] TIAF 2007 featured 100 galleries from 27 countries which included not only famous Toronto galleries which TorontoArtsandEvents appreciates and loves but also galleries from Austria, Denmark, Gerymany, Spain and the United States. I noted that very few art pieces were priced in U.S.dollars! According to this art fair, art worth more than $ 20,0000,000 was sold during the fair and the Art Gallery of Ontario ( AGO - see sources and links ) purchased 3 pieces at the Fair - this is the first time the AGO has done that! TIAF also advised that over 18,000 visitors had viewed the collection of art works presented by the participating galleries.
