The Dutch managing director of the important international art and antiques fair, TEFAF, has suddenly resigned. Bart Drenth confirmed his resignation in a conversation with ANP, but he did not want to state his reasons for resigning. Media outlets outside of the Netherlands recently linked him to prior messages he published on Twitter, which are no longer public, and which generated criticism against him.
Drenth has also been criticised online by Tefaf managing director Charlotte van Leerdam for speaking about her private battle with breast cancer in the Dutch press
