The Pain of an Art Fair Captured

August 5, 2014 by Marion Maneker

Andy Freeberg, Art Fare

New York’s Christopher Bonanos offers a short distillation of Andy Freeberg’s show of photographs of what happens around art installations like art fairs:

The body of work in “Art Fare,” at Andrea Meislin through August 8, was photographed on the art-fair circuit between 2009 and 2011 and is based on the premise that ordinary business and extraordinary art make for great pairings. The juxtapositions are funny, of course, but they also get at the strange reality of these events. Dealers, Freeberg notes, face a conundrum: “You’re spending money on the booth, spending time, you have to make the sales and the connections—but at the same time they have to play it cool.”
