COMPANY
David and Lee Ann Lester, owners of International Fine Art Expositions (IFAE) have been the pioneers of the Florida market, establishing Art Miami in January, 1991, The Palm Beach International Art & Antique Fair (now AIFAF) in 1997, and Artpalmbeach in 1998.
In 2009, the Lesters resumed control of the two Palm Beach fairs, acquired the historically favorable January dates formerly occupied by Art Miami for 16 years at the Miami Beach Convention Center, and entered a joint venture with Clarion Events to serve as the directors of the Olympia International Art & Antiques Fair, now re-branded as the London International Fine Art Fair at Olympia.
