<h3>Chicago Architecture Biennial: 10 things we loved</h3>

Artistic directors, architects, and educators Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee, of L.A.&rsquo;s&nbsp;Johnston Marklee, invited more than 140 participants from around the world to interpret the exhibit&rsquo;s theme, &ldquo;Make New History.&rdquo; Based on the myriad of architectural history, design, and urban planning displays, it appeared to be a wide-ranging prompt. Here are some of the exhibitions and events that stood out during a tour of the main display and many of the&nbsp;off-site exhibitions&nbsp;opening weekend. &nbsp;--Via Patrick Sisson, Curbed Chicago

<h3>What Sold at EXPO Chicago</h3>

Gupta credited Tony Karman, EXPO Chicago&rsquo;s director since 2011, with helping revitalize the city&rsquo;s art scene. Chicago has, for decades, had some of the world&rsquo;s most prestigious art institutions and a sophisticated group of collectors, but Karman, Gupta noted, has brought everyone together in support of the city&rsquo;s cultural scene&mdash;from Mayor Rahm Emanuel, whose photo and personal note appear in the fair&rsquo;s promotional materials, to the institutions, collectors, universities, and even non-profit organizations from the U.S. and abroad.

&ldquo;He&rsquo;s using [the fair] as this thing that&rsquo;s beyond a trade show,&rdquo; Gupta said. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s using it as a catalytic moment to shift the cultural makeup of the city.&rdquo; &nbsp;--Via Anna Louie Sussman, Artsy Editorial

<h3>Cardboard Art Show At Bridgeport Gallery Seeks Submissions</h3>

BRIDGEPORT &mdash; Think you have the next oil-and-cardboard masterpiece? Now is your chance to submit it for a special, cardboard-only art show happening at Bridgeport&#39;s Co-Prosperity Sphere.

The&nbsp;Art on Cardboard Show&nbsp;is seeking submissions for its 15th annual exhibit in October. Described by organizers as an art show &quot;by the people for the people,&quot; the exhibit features pieces from dozens of artists guided by just one rule &mdash; use cardboard.

Most pieces are art paintings or drawings on cardboard, and artists of varying skill levels are encouraged to submit works to the show. &nbsp; --Via Joe Ward, dna info

<h3>A visit to the art-filled Lakeview tavern that is Ten Cat</h3>

There are few more pleasant places than a neighborhood saloon on a late afternoon and so it was at the Ten Cat Tavern one day last week.

A couple of men played pool on one of the two ancient and magnificent Brunswick tables that occupy the middle of the long rectangular tavern and walking past them, careful not to bump their cue sticks, you would have passed a jukebox that still contains 45s (an amazing selection of them too), a room with a fireplace and comfortable chairs and a couch before eventually finding a small and peaceful garden dotted with a few tables. &nbsp;--Via Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune

<h3>It Might Have Been a Masterpiece, but Now It&rsquo;s a Cautionary Tale</h3>

AMSTERDAM &mdash; When the cultural historian and Piet Mondrian biographer L&eacute;on Hanssen visited the Bozar Center for the Arts in Brussels in the spring of 2016, a painting stopped him dead in his tracks.

It looked remarkably similar to an untitled 1923 Mondrian that the Nazis had displayed as an example of &ldquo;degenerate art&rdquo; in a famous 1937 Munich exhibition. It was thought to have been destroyed in the Berlin air raids at the end of World War II. But could this be it? &nbsp; --Via Nina Siegal, New York Times

<h3>Art Collectors, Pay Your Taxes</h3>

States are cracking down on art collectors who aren&rsquo;t paying taxes owed on their purchases.

States don&rsquo;t release details about investigations into evasion of taxes on art purchases. But according to lawyers representing defendants in such cases, state attorneys general and revenue departments around the country have stepped up their investigations and prosecutions for failure to pay sales and use taxes on art purchases. &nbsp; --Via Daniel Grant, Wall Street Journal

News from Around the Art World: September 19, 2017

By GINNY VAN ALYEA

The sixth edition of EXPO CHICAGO,&nbsp;the International Exposition of Contemporary &amp; Modern Art, opened last night at Navy Pier. The crowds were humming from the earliest opening at 3pm, and the energy continued to build all evening, as art enthusiasts streamed through the doors, eager to see the best of the world&#39;s contemporary art all under a single, massive roof. Many prominent collectors, artists and art world figures&nbsp;were in attendance as expected,&nbsp;giving a boost to the fair and making many connections all evening, ensuring that the fair&#39;s vitality and reputation will continue to grow in years to come.

Overall the art in the show looked very strong, and the enthusiasm and excitement of the crowd overflowed positively all night. The evening concluded with Nick Cave&#39;s&nbsp;remarkable Up Right Chicago&nbsp;performance, which featured dozens of participants, some wore his famous Soundsuits, some helped dress the performers live on stage, and others played music and sang songs. Architect Jeanne Gang&#39;s custom objects, designed to be part of the performance, were irrisistably playful and touchable for all who walked through the atrium on the walk to the Aon Ballroom.&nbsp;

EXPO&#39;s sterling exhibitor list and offering of art, combined with outstanding and dynamic art programming, has made EXPO ART WEEK a cultural centerpiece of Chicago, and its effects will long be felt and remembered.&nbsp;

A few highlights from the show are pictured below, but properly&nbsp;viewing&nbsp;this show will take more than one party-filled evening, as much of the work displayed requires time and attention&nbsp;to truly see&nbsp;and understand.

A wrap-up of the 2017 EXPO Chicago's Vernissage opening

EXPO CHICAGO 2017 Vernissage Visual Wrap-Up

<h3>The growth of Chicago&#39;s Super Loop: So much building, so little architecture</h3>

A flock of construction cranes fills the sky. Downtown&#39;s population is soaring. The skyline is changing and so is the texture of city life.

A generation ago, West Madison Street was Chicago&#39;s Skid Row home to winos and flophouses. It is now a chic strip of sushi joints, cycle studios, preschools and a gourmet ice cream shop. But the architectural fare consists of bland apartment high rises that have drawn complaints of monotony. &ndash; Via&nbsp;Blair Kamin, Chicago Tribune

<h3>DNA Tests Debunk a Psychic&rsquo;s Claim to Be Dal&iacute;&rsquo;s Daughter, and a Surreal Saga Comes to an End</h3>

A Spanish tarot card reader&rsquo;s quest to be acknowledged as the daughter of Surrealist painter&nbsp;Salvador Dal&iacute;&nbsp;may have come to an anticlimactic end.

The Court of First Instance no. 11, in Madrid, has ruled out&nbsp;Pilar Abel Mart&iacute;nez&rsquo;s claim&nbsp;to be descended from the artist, based on DNA samples from her and from the artist, analyzed by the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences.

The artist&rsquo;s body&nbsp;was exhumed in July&nbsp;in&nbsp;a dramatic ceremonyat the Dal&iacute; Theater-Museum, located in his hometown of Figueres, Spain. &ndash; Via Artnet

<h3>On a Mission to Make Roger Brown a Household Name</h3>

The late Imagist Roger Brown is one of the most underappreciated artists to come out of Chicago. Gallery owner Kavi Gupta wants to change that.&nbsp;&ndash; Via Crain&#39;s Chicago (subscription required)

<h3>Chicago&rsquo;s DuSable Museum reveals new terrace, timeline for historic Roundhouse</h3>

Late last week, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel helped cut the ribbon on a new outdoor event space at the DuSable Museum of African-American History. Created by local architecture firm Site Design Group, the addition replaces an underused parking lot with new grass, flowers, fencing, and pavers. The&nbsp;$582,000 project&nbsp;is aimed at not only boosting attendance, but also creating a new revenue stream for the museum at 740 E. 56th Place through hosting private events such as weddings and corporate functions. &ndash; Via Curbed Chicago

<h3>Out With the Old, and in With La Biennale Paris</h3>

Global competition has brought some big changes to the latest edition of the venerable art fair&nbsp;La Biennale Paris.

Think of it as an old-school Citro&euml;n with a brand-new engine. &ndash; Via New York Times

<h3>Architecture Foundation moving to Wacker on the Chicago River</h3>

After more than 25 years at the Railway Exchange Building, the Chicago Architecture Foundation is moving to a new location in the heart of the city. The new Chicago Architecture Center will be at&nbsp;111 East Wacker Drive, just above the dock for the&nbsp;Chicago Architecture Foundation River Cruise aboard Chicago&rsquo;s First Lady Cruises. It will occupy 20,000 square feet, providing the foundation with expanded space for its growing program and education initiatives. The center will open in summer 2018.&nbsp;&ndash; Via Architecture.org

A round-up of news from around the art world for the week of Sept 11, 2017

News from Around the Art World: September 11, 2017

A summary of highlights of EXPO ART WEEK and the 6th edition of EXPO CHICAGO

EXPO Art Week – September 11-17, 2017

By GINNY VAN ALYEA

EXPO Chicago is bringing the global art community to the city this week, and for the fair&#39;s sixth edition, which&nbsp;opens on Wednesday evening, EXPO&nbsp;is introducing a host of new initiatives that specifically address architecture, as the fair coincides with the launch of the second Chicago Architecture Biennial.

One of the most highly anticipated exhibitions happening offsite during the fair is part of a&nbsp;partnership with Palais de Tokyo, a self-proclaimed &quot;dynamic place for the artists of our time,&quot;&nbsp;and &quot;the largest center for contemporary artistic creation in all of Europe, as well as a one-of-a-kind exhibition space and a&nbsp;rebellious wasteland with the air of a Palace, an anti-museum in permanent transformation.&quot;

<img alt="" data-caption="Palais de Tokyo in France" data-rich-file-id="2303" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/chigal/rich/rich_files/rich_files/2303/original/palais-.jpg" />

The&nbsp;exhibition,&nbsp;Singing Stones, curated by Katell Jaffr&egrave;s, brings together 11 emerging artists from both the French and Chicago art scenes&nbsp;as part of the first&nbsp;Hors les Murs (beyond the walls)&nbsp;exhibition in the United States,&nbsp;in partnership with the&nbsp;Institut fran&ccedil;ais and&nbsp;Chicago&#39;s&nbsp;DuSable Museum of African American History.&nbsp;The exhibition has a strong contemporary architecture&nbsp;focus&nbsp;and is also possible in part because of&nbsp;a partnership with Chicago&#39;s Graham Foundation as well as&nbsp;guest designer Andrew Schachman.&nbsp;

This&nbsp;group&nbsp;exhibition, which will coincide with EXPO Art Week (September 13-17, 2017) and the&nbsp;opening of the second Chicago Architecture Biennial&nbsp;(September 16, 2017-January 8, 2018),&nbsp;will be on view&nbsp;at the DuSable Museum&#39;s Roundhouse on the South Side at 56th Street.&nbsp;

Famed Chicago architecture firm Burnham and Root designed the Roundhouse in 1893 as horse stables for the&nbsp;World&rsquo;s Columbian Exposition. Singing Stones&nbsp;begins a return for the Roundhouse to active use, though different of course from its original purpose. Fifty six years ago&nbsp;the DuSable Museum began as a small gallery in the home of Charles and Margaret Burroughs. In 1971, the Museum moved to the original wing of its current facility and then expanded in 1993.&nbsp;In 2005 the DuSable Museum acquired the Roundhouse, and since then they have been fundraising in order to recontruct the structure to its original state. Earlier this month the Museum&nbsp;unveiled a new outdoor event space, a&nbsp;15,000-square-foot plaza&nbsp;next to the Roundhouse, that would be open in time for the Architecture&nbsp;Biennial. Since the space has not been completely restored, it is in a more raw state now, something that curator Jaffr&eacute;s will use to his advantage for the exhibition as he showcases the raw artistic talent of Chicago and France&nbsp;today.&nbsp;

The exhibition partnership program is an extension of the French-American Curatorial Exchange initiated in 2013 with the Cultural Services of French Embassy in the United States. It ties together this year&#39;s focus in Chicago on art and architecture through a global lens.&nbsp;

The DuSable Museum&#39;s mission is to promote understanding and inspire appreciation of the achievements, contributions, and experiences of African Americans through exhibits, programs, and activities that illustrate African and African American history, culture and art.

&nbsp;

<h3>September 12</h3>

&bull;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.chicagogallerynews.com/galleries/the-arts-club-of-chicago">The Arts Club of Chicago</a>&nbsp;will have a public opening on Sept 12 to celebrate the centennial of Marcel Duchamp&rsquo;s&nbsp;Fountain, welcoming&nbsp;an exhibition by acclaimed Slovak artist Roman Ondak. Known for a conceptual oeuvre that draws on both participatory and object-based processes, Ondak interrogates the peculiarities of daily life in a post-Soviet and increasingly global context. For The Arts Club, Ondak gathers four sculptural installations that have never been shown in the United States along with an ongoing series of paintings begun in the 1990s, most of which were produced expressly for this exhibition. Taken as an ensemble, this work deploys found materials to reflect on aspects of memory and place&ndash;indicating Ondak&rsquo;s rather ambivalent stance toward the legacy of the readymade.

<h3>September 14 and 15</h3>

&bull; On Thursday, September 14 <a href="http://www.chicagogallerynews.com/calendar/david-hartt-in-the-forest">The Graham Foundation</a> opens&nbsp;David Hartt: in the forest.&nbsp;Borrowing his title from Claude L&eacute;vi-Strauss&rsquo; 1955 memoir&nbsp;Tristes Tropiques,&nbsp;in the forest&nbsp;continues Hartt&rsquo;s investigation into the relationship between ideology, architecture, and the environment. Consisting of a film, a suite of photographs, and a series of sculptures, the installation revisits architect Moshe Safdie&rsquo;s unfinished 1968&nbsp;Habitat&nbsp;Puerto Rico&nbsp;project through a contemporary lens.

Citing a long tradition ranging from Henri Rousseau to William Wordsworth, Robert Walser and Immanuel Kant, the work in this exhibition&nbsp;expounds&nbsp;the relationship of deep thinking and composing with time spent walking. As thousands of lines are pulled across a pliant mat board while walking, an under-layer of graphite builds a matrix into which color is overlaid and embedded. Lindberg&rsquo;s work has a highly atmospheric inclination towards the rhythmic layers of luminous colors.

<h2>As Harvey Hits Texas, Art Museums Shutter</h2>

&quot;On Friday morning, as Hurricane Harvey approached the Gulf Coast of Texas, museums in the region closed, saying that they would keep their doors closed for the weekend...

&quot;Serious fun. That&rsquo;s what the disruptive design genius Ettore Sottsass was up to with his furniture, ceramics, buildings, glassware, textiles, jewelry, and photographs&mdash;in other words, with his life, which ended on New Year&rsquo;s Eve in 2007, at the age of ninety. For all the sensuous whimsy and nose-thumbing irreverence of his best-known work&mdash;the lipstick-red plastic&nbsp;Valentine&nbsp;typewriter for Olivetti, from 1968; the more-is-more pile on of color and form of the&nbsp;&ldquo;Carlton&rdquo; Room Divider, from 1981&mdash;Sottsass was at heart a philosopher, with a deep faith in the power of objects. As he told Charlie Rose in 2004, &ldquo;If you have good design, you will have a better society.&rdquo;&quot; &nbsp;-4Columns

<h2>Four Uncompromising Finnish Women Artists</h2>

&quot;The story of the Finnish modernist painter Helene Schjerfbeck is a fascinating one, which was first told in America in 1992, 25 years ago, when she was the subject of an exhibition at the National Academy of Design. Writing for&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;(November 27, 1992), Roberta Smith characterized the exhibition of this neglected artist as &ldquo;revelatory [and] bittersweet.&rdquo; Smith&rsquo;s observation still holds true, perhaps even more so, in the exhibition&nbsp;Independent Visions: Helene Schjerfbeck and Her Contemporaries&nbsp;at Scandinavia House (April 29 &ndash; October 7, 2017), which fleshes out a story of independence and perseverance that keeps needing to be told, if only to remind us how complicated and chaotic history is.&quot; &nbsp; -Hyperallergic

The Wall was influential; hundreds of similar displays of pride went up in cities across the country.&quot; &nbsp; -Sun Times

News from Around the Art World: August 22, 2017

It&#39;s been a&nbsp;big year&nbsp;for Chicago&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.chicagogallerynews.com/institutions/museum-of-contemporary-art-chicago-mca">Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA)</a>. Coinciding&nbsp;with their 50th Year Celebration, MCA has&nbsp;hosted a slew of special exhibitions and events, ranging from their show devoted to Takashi Murakami, famed Japanese artist that specializes in anime inspired works, to soothing jazz music and drinks in the garden.

Although the&nbsp;year is halfway done,&nbsp;MCA continues&nbsp;their celebrations. Following suit of hosting&nbsp;past talks featuring musicians (Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth), the museum has&nbsp;three new artists invited to each lead a talk; &nbsp;R&amp;B and pop artist Solange Knowles (commonly known as Solange), rapper Vince Staples, and Chicago native&nbsp;Chance the Rapper. All three talks are&nbsp;in partnership&nbsp;with Chicago-based Pitchfork and are highlighted&nbsp;with hopes to be&nbsp;&ldquo;a conversation series exploring new perspectives in music, art, and culture&rdquo;.

Here is a breakdown of the participating speakers, and what to expect&nbsp;from each artist.

&nbsp;

<h2><a href="http://www.chicagogallerynews.com/calendar/mca-talk-solange-knowles">Solange</a></h2>

Wednesday, September 13, 6-7pm

Solange Knowles isn&rsquo;t just one of the year&rsquo;s most respected, Grammy winning R&amp;B/ artists&mdash; she&rsquo;s also an activist and&nbsp;experienced speaker. This fall, she will&nbsp;be bringing her speaking capabilities to the MCA. Solange, in conjunction with Chicago writer Britt Julious, will discuss her most recent album A Seat at the Table.

Tickets to see Solange Knowles will be on sale August 23 at noon. To purchase tickets,&nbsp;visit <a href="https://mcachicago.org/Home">mcachicago.org</a>

&nbsp;

<h2><a href="http://www.chicagogallerynews.com/calendar/mca-talk-vince-staples">Vince Staples</a></h2>

Friday, October 13, 6-7pm

There is more than meets the eye with Vince Staples, and that&#39;s&nbsp;what his MCA talk is going to be about. Aided by Matthew Schnipper, editing manager of Pitchfork, Staples will discuss his early life growing up in Long Beach, personal identity, and how a&nbsp;rap career has altered both his art and lifestyle.

Tickets to see Vince Staples&nbsp;will be on sale September 6 at noon. To purchase tickets, visit <a href="https://mcachicago.org/Home">mcachicago.org</a>

&nbsp;

<h2><a href="http://www.chicagogallerynews.com/calendar/mca-talk-chance-the-rapper">Chance the Rapper</a></h2>

Friday, November 17, 6-7pm

Chance the Rapper has become a household name in Chicago for many reasons&mdash; his loyalty to the city, popular and colorful mixtapes, and&nbsp;philanthropic efforts do not go unnoticed. Paired with Adrienne Samuel Gibbs, a journalist whose work focuses on south side Chicago, the audience can expect to hear from Chance the Rapper about personal&nbsp;ties to the city, his music, and how he is giving&nbsp;back to the&nbsp;community.

Tickets to see Chance the Rapper will be on sale October 11 at noon. To purchase tickets,&nbsp;visit <a href="https://mcachicago.org/Home">mcachicago.org</a>

This fall the MCA hosts Solange, Chance the Rapper and Vince Staples.

&quot;Change and expansion have become the name of the game at Chicago&rsquo;s DuSable Museum of African American History since March 2016, when it was granted Smithsonian Affiliation status by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. That distinction signaled the beginning of a long-term collaborative partnership between the DuSable and the world&rsquo;s largest museum and research complex. And now comes word that the museum has named Chicago cultural gadfly Lee Bey its first-ever vice president for planning, education and museum experience.&quot; -Chicago Sun-Times

&quot;On September 4, 1997, Hamas terrorists&nbsp;bombed&nbsp;a mall in Jerusalem, killing five people and wounding nearly 200. In 2001, the US survivors and family members of those killed sued the Islamic Republic of Iran in federal court in Chicago, claiming the country had sponsored the bombing. In 2003, a US District Judge in Washington DC awarded the plaintiffs about $71 million in damages. Iran never paid up, so to satisfy their judgement, the plaintiffs have been waging a legal battle for over a decade to seize Persian artifacts that are &nbsp;in the&nbsp;Oriental Institute&nbsp;of the University of Chicago and in the&nbsp;Field Museum of Natural History, also in Chicago. The Supreme Court&nbsp;will hear the case&nbsp;in the fall.&quot; -Hyperallergic

&quot;O.K., finding a new director for the Metropolitan Museum of Art will take more than a LinkedIn posting &mdash; but the hunt is on for a successor to Thomas P. Campbell, whose resignation last winter&nbsp;added a kink to the Met&rsquo;s tangle of troubles. Attendance, at seven million, is at a high. Exhibitions are some of the finest anywhere. Yet as it approaches its 150th birthday, the museum lumbers under a nearly $15 million deficit; a planned new wing for modern and contemporary art has been deferred; and the Met&rsquo;s optional admissions charge&nbsp;may be replaced with a mandatory entrance fee&nbsp;for out-of-towners.&quot; -The New York Times

News From Around the Art World: June 26, 2017

Here we are enjoying the start of summer but still there are exciting&nbsp;signs of fall that we can look foward to and even embrace now.&nbsp;

In the art world here, and elsewhere,&nbsp;fall is the&nbsp;biggest cultural season of the year. In Chicago the defining&nbsp;event is undoubtedly the opening of <a href="http://www.chicagogallerynews.com/art-services/expo-chicago">EXPO CHICAGO</a> on Navy Pier and the art events and exhibitions timed to open along with the fair.&nbsp;The first sign of the upcoming fall art season erupted on Wednesday afternoon&nbsp;when an interactive installation by artist Roger Hiorns (Luhring Augustine, New York)&nbsp;debuted on the Pier&nbsp;as the first work that is part of IN/SITU Outside.

IN/SITU Outside is a citywide initiative that provides the opportunity for EXPO CHICAGO exhibitors to present temporary public art installations situated along the lakefront and throughout Chicago neighborhoods. A retrospective view of the pathway&nbsp;will be on view at Polk Bros Park on the Pier from June 21, 2017 through EXPO CHICAGO (September 13-17, 2017).

&ldquo;Siting internationally renowned artwork by artists such as Roger Hiorns speaks to the true collaboration between EXPO CHICAGO and Navy Pier,&rdquo; said EXPO CHICAGO President | Director Tony Karman. &ldquo;Navy Pier has a long history of working with the art exposition and presenting large-scale sculptures, and we are grateful to Michelle Boone and all at Navy Pier for recognizing the importance of presenting this work as a part of our IN/SITU Outside program. We are also grateful to one of our participating galleries, <a href="http://www.luhringaugustine.com/news/roger-hiorns-opens-large-scale-installation-in-chicago2">Luhring Augustine</a>, for working closely with all of us to make this happen.&rdquo;

The press release announcing Hiorns&#39; work on Wednesday explains, &quot;Hiorns&rsquo; interactive art piece is comprised of large-scale stainless-steel tanks, a compressor and foam, presenting the idea of continuous change in a joyous and ebullient manner.

The sculpture will produce giant foam clusters, which will be shaped by the wind and spread across the landscape. In this way, the artist engages with the surroundings, and blurs the lines between where the city begins and the art ends. The public is welcome to engage with the interactive installation, with the foam becoming the connective tissue between the individual and the artwork.&quot;

Hiorns said,&nbsp;&ldquo;I look to put the human back at the center of the artwork. I look towards how the human may now look, how the human will look in the future.&nbsp;I have to respond to my local environment of inner city pollution and a world of deeply contaminated ideas, so I make these acts of purification and cleansing. I want the foam to breathe a language of perfection over the environment, and this machine is the symbolically living body, to cross over to the world of breathing form from the simple and un-formable foam.&rdquo;

In case you thought you wouldn&#39;t make it out to Navy Pier before September, you now have an entirely cultural reason to make a visit much sooner than that, and that is just what the team at Navy Pier, led by former DCASE Commissioner Michelle Boone, is hoping for, following the extensive aesthetic as well as programming renovations that have taken place over the past couple of years.

Visitors to the Pier to see the work will be able to experience the daily foam eruptions at noon and 4pm. The installation is interactive and participatory, and the foam lasts for quite awhile after it erupts.&nbsp;

&quot;The mood at the 48th edition of Art Basel in Basel was buoyant, perhaps even jubilant. Was it the function of a European economy that has performed stronger than most had expected? Relief that populism may not be sweeping the Continent after all? A stronger influx of Asian buyers? The long days of nonstop sunshine? The contagion of the miniature dance party in the plaza outside of the conference center in which the art fair is held, courtesy of artist&nbsp;Claudia Comte? This depended on who you asked.&quot; -Artsy
