Is the Affordable Art Fair Fair?
Darling. Sit. No, not there, that's a Prouvé. Peggy gave it to me. Guggenheim, sweetie, not the one from Pilates.
Someone asked me this week what an "affordable art fair" is, and I fainted. Straight down, like a Tiepolo ceiling. I came to on the chaise with a cold compress and a Fernet, and the first thing I said was "Diana?" Vreeland always kept smelling salts in her Chanel for exactly this. She'd have understood.
An affordable art fair, mon petit chou, is an art fair where the prices are written on the wall. In numbers. Next to the painting. Like a deli counter. One simply doesn't. At Basel the price is "available on request," which is French for "we've seen your shoes." Leo Castelli never printed a price in his life. He'd simply look at you, and you'd know, and you'd sell the house in Southampton.
