What are you tired of the big art fairs and their agglomerations, tired of not stopping to give kisses on your ride and little focus on the basics, the works? Did not have time to travel to London and Chicago and Miami and Basel? No problem. Vip Art Fair, virtual art fair that opened on Saturday, offers the ability to collect up-and-look-comfortably in slippers and with the machine next to the wing chair, as advertised by the organizers.Or almost. For the opening day of the walker lost his nerves by the mayhem of pages that were slow to open, or did not fall off. So blatant was the fuss that afternoon hung a warning remained in effect yesterday, had been overwhelmed by visitors from all over the globe and were trying to alleviate the problem.
Perhaps for this reason it was impossible to make the proposal "tour" or "selected works" that would have been interesting to get a little closer to the philosophy of the fair. But aside from the discomfort of the connection so like to fill a page found on the Spanish government, the truth is that the galleries are most important and the list of artists is excellent, although the works, and as in all fairs, has an uneven quality.
Classics like Warhol, with some wonderful work with Basquiat half, "Gilbert and George, Arbus and Avedon, enshrined as Marina Abramovic, Doris Salcedo, Sherman, Valeska Soares, Hatoum ... organize a list of desirable for any collector. There are even surprises like a bug of the Brazilian neo-concrete Lygia Clark, a futuristic sculpture or works Balla Benglis and Bourgeois early at Cheim and Read.
There is no shortage, of course, artists in fashion, Hisrt, and my beloved Weiwei, exhibited at a gallery in Seoul, by the way the Chinese and Korean super regular. The emergent, usually a disaster and a total lack of discretion, except in very exceptional cases as Labor Erick Beltrán. Imagine that is emerging between the consagradisimo Julião Sarmento ...
One of the sections that best defines the spirit of the fair is Focus-gallery representing a single artist, and this is something that may only be done on-Net Benzacar Flavia da Rin on one of the most intriguing- . And so we come to the heart of the issue in this experiment merely to follow the trail of the auctions on the Web Who is thought this fair? There are times, as they walk, which seems to be directed to trained eyes, for nothing more difficult to appreciate a work that is not known from the computer screen.
However, there are others which seem to be designed for seasoned collectors or a little timid, and the possibility to learn without haste on the artist, the work to zoom in for details, see other works and compare them-all with maximum discretion, warn the institutional clip. I have only one thing clear: I think it is not intended for mere onlookers to try to have a good time, at fairs to use.
Anyway, this time I will spend all the shows: people tell me I have not seen anything essential. The list makes it easier for developers but me, although I am a freak of the screen on my virtual tour I've missed that feeling repeated: that the event, the end is always far away in another stand.
