New York Magazine stopped Chuck Close at the opening party at MoMA and got an earful about the fair’s short-comings:

“Honestly, I thought it was a lot less interesting than usual,” Close said of the art fair, housed at Piers 92 and 94 this month. “I don’t know why exactly, and I don’t know what I would add to it, but it didn’t seem to have much, especially compared to Frieze or even Miami Basel. It was very dull and ordinary.”
