Armory Week: What's in Your Art Fair Survival Kit?

The correct answer, of course, is cash. Lots and lots of cash. It comes in handy whether you’re coveting Gilbert & George postcards ($27,275 a pop at Lehmann Maupin‘s Armory Show booth), a swath of Chilean artist Iván Navarro‘s neon “Armory Fence,” or, over at the Art Dealers Association of America’s Art Show, the candy-colored flotsam of Jessica Stockholder. And while the whirl of New York art fairs offers plenty in the way of visual stimulation and free champagne, don’t be fooled: it’s a jungle out there.
