Now that New Yorkers returned to the city they used to love, and probably feel like they can love eating out of the "Big Apple" again, I am wondering… Is ART the new drug within all the really hip citizens of this city? Art Basel is over! Thank you, or should I be sad?! I am probably more sad than thankful in all honesty. The really cool people are back in town. Since I didn't get the message to fly out 3 days before Art Basel even began, I must be one of the 14% of the repulsive people who had to stay in this hidious place on earth. I give them a few more days before I am buying them a one way ticket to Cluj, Romania, which is according to Huffington Post one of "The 12 Cities That Will Shake Up The Art World In The 21st Century". I cannot listen to any more superficial art conversations. I am sorry, but most of you guys don't even know how to spell the word ART… yes only 3 letters!
I don't want to bad mouth the exhibitions itself… I saw some really nice installations. The thing is… I don't need to see the ludicrous faces of New York's "high society" in front of it. Please do us all a favor and block your Instagram, so I am not tempted to see your various poses in front of a piece of art that reflects your beauty. I am sure the pool parties were very abstract and artsy enough, too! All in all, I have nothing against you guys, it's just the aftermath I don't want to be involved with. I know you are special and smart… you don't have to explain yourself anymore! You will see... tomorrow New York will be the city you love again.
Here some of the works that were displayed and for sale at the art fare. (These are some examples, which probably should have stayed at home as a scrap pile - but still worth taking a picture for Instagram)
