Hong Kong might seem an odd location for an international art fair but everyone wants to tap into the Asian market and Basel seems to have a crystal ball when it comes to developing the next big market. Though the Hong Kong art fair has gone on for a number of years, this is the [...]

Highlights from Frieze New York:
Not only was this my favorite booth, but it won the Stand award at the fair. I am in love with everything this artist does.
I liked all of the pieces at Carl Freedman’s booth but these in particular were simple yet sophisticated and mesmerizingly beautiful.

One of my favorite places to go to sip on tequila post-fair.

I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I was overwhelmed. But I am charged with writing about the art and sharing the experience for those who could not or [...]

Art Basel Miami Beach Main Fair
The main fair continues to be the well-oiled machine it always has been. But the sheer number of galleries left me feeling a bit cold. I was more intrigued by the Nova and Positions sections with the younger gallerists and work (Please see separate post). Highlights from the main fair:
