Art and the Celebs Who Eat It Up

Frankly, it’s exhausting looking at all the art at Art Basel; it’s more fun to look for art-buying celebs. At the convention center within a few hours, we saw Dennis Hopper perusing Gavin Brown‘s footwear sculptures with Tony Shafrazi (who certainly solicited a few cringes from Picasso dealers). Steve Martin smiling at a Josef Albers painting, completely undetected. And Lucy Liu strolled by, asking a male companion, “So then what happens?” If only we knew.
