Artgenève – ARTSY

INSIDE THE 12TH EDITION OF ARTGENÈVE, WHERE VARIETY REIGNS SUPREME

 

It might be strange to associate the feeling of calmness with an art fair, but at the VIP day of artgenève’s 12th edition on Wednesday, that’s exactly what visitors experienced. This is not to say the halls of Geneva’s Palexpo convention center were empty, or that hands were not being shaken. But the pace seemed to be more leisurely, and the buzz more convivial than one might expect from an art fair’s waking hours. Oddly, in contrast to typical fair openings of late, only a handful of the dealers that Artsy observed across the fair looked stressed.
