Saltz: 20 Things I Really Liked at the Art Fairs

By Jerry Saltz

As some readers already know, I do not really look at art at art fairs. I can’t. I’m sorry. Fairs are places where the dealer is always only a few feet away from the art, and I need my own space to see it. As soon as a dealer comes up to me in a booth to explain this or that work, my skin starts crawling, I have wee panic attacks, I begin behaving badly, and I duck away. They think I am insane. And rude. Which I may be. (I avoid fairs after the first day, too. So my ideas about them are very limited.) But when I do go, I go through in a semi-trance, catching reflections and filing away things I see to think about later. At last week’s three big art fairs (the Art Show, the Armory Show, and the Independent), these twenty pieces left traces and impressions on my frontal lobe.

Additional reporting by Molly Langmuir.

1. Martin Wong's It’s Not What You Think, What Is It Then?  
            PPOW Gallery  
            This artist, who died young in 1999, is way overlooked. And much better than people realize. The intricate brickwork makes the painting look like a labor of love, a piece of flat sculpture, and a wall from the artist’s memory.  
            Did it sell? Yes.  
            Price: $200,000. 1. Martin Wong's It’s Not What You Think, What Is It Then?

3. Louise Lawler's Marie + 180  
            Metro Pictures  
            Since we’re on Degas, a well-known Pictures Artist riffing on him (Lawler’s work typically involves rephotographing other work and warping or resizing the image) triggers pictorial memories of one of the most peculiar pieces of modern sculpture ever made. Here, blown up way larger than life, it still doesn’t lose its strangeness.
