Finding What's Right and Wrong with Art Fairs by Way of Tokyo

Jean Snow‘s site pointed us over to a report on the recent Art Fair Tokyo by Ashley Rawlings, “The Market of the Mediocre.” While it’s an interesting snapshot of the event, which you might find of some interest, its strength lies in talking about the idea of an “art fair” in general.
