Introduction
The International Foundation for Fine and Decorative Arts (iffda) is an organisation based in Zurich, Switzerland and operating globally.
The vision of iffda is twofold: to provide education for the general public concerning the world’s highest quality fine and decorative art revealing the great artistry and skill used in their creation and highlighting their art historical significance. iffda locates such works for purchase by select collectors and institutions.
iffda has a specialised staff as well as a network of working specialists worldwide – all having unique expertise within Art and Cultural History and years of experience of public presentation of the fine arts in exhibitions, galleries, and museums.
BACKGROUND
iffda was created based on global interest in fine and decorative arts as cultural expression and objects of collections, both public and private. iffda supports these interests through education, exhibition, and the sourcing of works for collectors and institutions.
iffda is associated with major museums and foundations as well as significant collectors and art specialists including curators, conservators, designers, art historians, and scientific technicians in order to provide a wide range of services.
ARTS PROJECTS
iffda and its staff have been involved in significant projects related to fine and decorative art collections including, most recently, those of Jackson Pollock and René Lalique. These projects included the exhibition of works at the Kunst Museum Winterthur and consultation concerning education and display with Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris.
iffda is available for consultation with those who are interested in high quality fine and decorative art for collection and display.
