Art Basel

Art Basel is the Mecca, the big cheese, the head honcho, the Augusta National of contemporary art fairs, and I spent the past two days visiting the 300+ galleries exhibiting there.



A few highlights:

Lucio Fontana & Alexander Calder at Helly Nahmad Gallery, New York 
Nahmad also had an entire room of white Fontana paintings - stunning!
Albert Giacometti at Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago
Nabil Nahas "Sapphire" at Sperone Westwater, New York
Nahas achieved this surface by mixing volcanic ash with acrylic paint.
We're in Michelangelo Pistoletto's art jail!
Kevin relaxes in the artist-designed outdoor cafe

And finally, a special shout-out to my fellow Art Girl, Linda:

Manfred Pernice, "Hocker-Set (3)'Linda'" (detail)
