/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

This board is about illustration. I wish I could talk about art some place on 4chan because it's such an insidious world and it needs a channel other than howsmydealing to talk about it.

Anyway, literally nobody else here is interested in anything going on at basel, OP. I'm sorry.

That is too bad, maybe I didn't understand this board as well as I thought. Anyway since I already created the thread what is your opinion on the subject. Do you have any favourites?

My sister and her boyfriend are actually there while I've been out of the loop this spring due to school. now that I have a minute I should catch up on artfcity or something.

have you got anything to say on it?

>>1757013
How the fuck would you know what other people are interested in. This is a better post than 75% of the shit on ic.

Art basil is a shit show unfortunately. I've been to a couple and it is the last place in the world where you would want to go to appreciate art. It's just were people go to talk about money.

The podcast Bad at Sports usually covers them if you want to hear people talk about art basil and interview artists or curators. It's better than actually going.

Unfortunately I cannot go since I have to work throughout the week and weekend and its a shame because I had preview tickets. I would like to see the Gagosian booth since there wasn't one in Art Cologne, I'm interested in Carroll Dunham's paintings, also Anton Kern though they are not bringing any of their Ohlen's work. Apart from that I don't know, I worked for a gallery in Art Cologne this year and also visited ARCO, but is in Basel were everybody is bringing out the big guns (considering that the attendance fee for a gallery in Basel is around 50.000€ its kind of normal), I remember that my boss told me that for this show they would be bringing two Sigmar Polkes so go figure.

Art fairs are always about money, but if you are interested in the art world or the art market then its always a must. This fairs are so big that in my opinion there is always something that is going to let you down but I wouldn't say "it is the last place in the world where you would want to go to appreciate art", it's a great opportunity to see really what is booming in the art world, and to see a lot of great works in one place. But that is just my opinion.

why is it called basel if it's not in basel? fucking amerifags.

>>1757428
Yes it is, its in Basel Switzerland. The have more editions in Hong Kong and Miami.

>>1757432

ohhhh ok then. i just googled it quickly and said it was in miami so i was like HOW dARE YOU!!!

bumping because i would really like to be able to talk about the artworld but we can't do it here because d/ic/ks get mad when someone makes money on anything that isn't representational.

Actually OP do you have an instant messenger address or anything

Also, dude, preview tickets and you turned them down? You'd genuinely be rubbing elbows with some of the richest people in the world.

>>1759133

>>1759135

How is that even remotely interesting? Is some of there wealth's going to rub on me?

Christ, that picture sums up eveything about the age we live in so fucking well.

>>1759416
i know, it even has a black guy.

>>1759418
The fact that the black guy is Kanye is what makes it so poignant.

>>1759412
Yes
That's how the world works.
