After
a wonderful warm up at Paris Internationale we headed to the, perhaps more grown
up FIAC.
The Petit Palais surprised us with a whacking great big David Altmejd. For a moment we thought the head at the top could have been Andrea Rosen herself.
It was great to see Korakrit’s wonderful boat had been unravelled and reimagined. It looked great, and not too messy.
Neue Alte Brücke had a different version of Yngve Holen’s washing machine but this time with ‘chicken lint’ inside. I did not quite get that one!
I much preferred his new wheel sculptures, they were delightful.
It was great to see some classics at Mitchell-Innes & Nash. They looked a little out of place amongst the contemporary but they shone in stature. This Henry Moore ‘Reclining Figure against Bank’ was wonderful.
Then it was time for a little rest at Sadie Coles on her amazingly comfortable Urs Fischer armchairs, ‘Do not touch’
These two Duane Hanson’s were also getting some rest at Gagosian.
Hazel Collins and her BFAMI girls and Poju were rising up a storm. They had been to every show and seemed to have bought everything.
There was such a contrast in works from the whimsical Puppies Puppies ‘Spaghetti Condoms’ at Balice Hertling,
their crustacean sculpture,
to Cameron Rowland at Essex Street Gallery where he continued his look into shadow economies and social injustices through basic material objects.
We were very excited to see Apple TV had created a Daata Channel through DAD showing works such as this Artie Vierkant.
There were so much to see at FIAC but we were very careful not to get too excited and really pick a few key pieces. We wished we could have taken the whole art fair home!
It was also an exciting week for us with a major loans from the Collection. This is one of the two treasured Sascha Braunig’s currently on show at MOMA PS1.
