art basel fair diary gracie hadland gossip

Art Basel fair diary by Gracie Hadland recounts her experience at the 2024 edition of the fair in Basel, Switzerland. She arrives determined not to spend money, relying on gallery dinners and PR generosity, and visits Liste, the satellite fair for younger galleries, where she notes dealers taking more risks with sculptures and conceptual works. Highlights include Bedros Yeretzian's booth at Diana Gallery, which sold only logos rather than objects, and a project by Shahryar Nashat in the Parcours sector. She also meets artist Adam Stamp, dealer Scott Cameron Weaver, and curators Julie Boukobza and Donald Ryan, and reflects on the fair's business-like atmosphere.
