尽管叙利亚战事,逃离战乱与贫穷的难民,疯狂的朝鲜导弹发射,走势不稳的美国经济,被提名为美国共和党总统候选人而形势动荡的唐纳德·特朗德,以及迈阿密同志俱乐部的恐怖袭击,英国举棋不定的投票(你是否知道这周的公投?),尽管发生了这一切,巴塞尔艺博会还是不错的。数额惊人的大笔钱财在此被花掉(只需阅读巴塞尔后发布的新闻稿即可)。而这里也有不错的艺术作品。哦,那天还下着小雨。如此忧郁的季节。

中国艺术
除了“意象无限”中的一些主要作品:丁乙、程然、秦思源和鸟头的,今年没多少中国元素。而且中国的参展画廊也不多:只有香格纳画廊、维他命艺术空间、长征空间、麦勒画廊以及常青画廊,马乐伯画廊带来了宋易格的作品,候巴克画廊则拥有严培明的。恩……,但是就价格而言:相较于西方画廊的艺术作品或西方画廊中的中国艺术品,来自中国的杰出艺术品(往往并不那么杰出)还是便宜的。
经典名作与大师之作
巴塞尔艺博会不仅销售有名的品牌艺术家——毕加索、波洛克和沃霍尔——而且也销售为人所知的其他大师之作,无论他们是在世的——海姆·斯坦巴克、简尼思·库奈里斯和梁绍基以及赛斯·普莱斯;或是已逝的——拉兹洛·莫霍利·纳吉(László Maholy-Nagy)。
