Later I will probably have some thoughts about the Houston Fine Art Fair to share. I might even have a few pieces of art to discuss. But it's hard. I was speaking to Carrie Schneider last night, and she made what I thought was a very true comment--the art that you remember from a show like this tends to be the most gimmicky. A piece that is subtle, or requires contemplation to get, or that must be understood on multiple levels doesn't stand a chance next to a shiny bronze teddy bear with a skateboard (which I'll show in a subsequent post). There were a few things that fall into the category of easily overlooked that I want to call attention to. But not now.
What's the other purpose of going to an art fair? To check out the peeps, natch. So here are some art fair peoples.

If you are in any of these photos, let me know and I'll identify you!
Your captions appear to be off. The woman in the dress is "The connoisseur".
ReplyDeleteShe may well be a connoisseur. But my caption referred to my own photographic gaze of her. Captioning that picture "male gaze" was sort of a confession that I was photographing her because she was shapely and beautiful...
