This looks a bit like how I look after a solid week’s worth of this year’s art fairs, socializing out on the town, and gallery-hopping. All of it was entertaining. Not a lot of it was particularly memorable, and there was definitely the sense that galleries were playing it safe by offering more concrete, tangible works. There were few over-the-top installations and I noticed that photography and video also seemed scarce. Most media were outnumbered by drawings, and animal/bird/taxidermy-derivative work was everywhere, which makes me nervous. But everything makes me nervous so that’s OK.

  1. Don’t be too nervous Catherine!!! You know how art trends come and go and fizzle fast. But you won’t. You got it goin’ on! A bright light in all that smschmaltzyness. I’m impressed you survived the NYC art fairs, not just one but three in a weekend???

  2. Sorry, I meant:
    A bright light upon all that schmaltzyness.
