American Art Industry ...

[художник Федотов]

Was this morning ( December 2013 ) , on some fairgrounds ... they call them, in my opinion, " Art Basel Miami Beach" plus with her at the same time there are several satellite fairs : "Art Miami ", etc. What are your first impressions? ? ? ... at Basel darkness the people in the audience ever come across art freaks , and not very well-known , came to show themselves for free ... on one , a very famous art couple skinheads ( unintelligible , precisely clear orientation, although rather obscure ) had once again to cross into the endless , hospitable queue at passport control at the airport in Miami ... The price of the ticket 42u.e. BASEL , afternoon falls to $ 30 On ARTMAYYAMI - ticket 35u.e. ARTMAYYAMI liked more in terms of the integrity and uniformity of exposure ... There were more than 300 galleries ( for comparison, the " authoritative " ArtMoscow now attended by 30 galleries, about their quality , we keep silent patriotic , ARTMANEZH successfully closed , that would not hinder the development of already named , the best and fair democratic country ! in my anti-advertising it does not exactly need ...). ARTBAZEL more ARTMAYYAMI 2.5 times ... There is certainly many times more first names and much better than their "quality " ... " Picasso " and other classics - old hang out at the main entrance to the stands very reputable galleries , they the highest density of red circles on the labels , price tags ... It is very customary to write the price, but not all ... Stands on ARTBAZELE very heterogeneous , like the pathetic first , then more - more equally faceless ...
   I remembered the old , hackneyed anecdote ... arrives at the American historical, odious exhibition in Manezh not yet blown into the country about which we can not talk bad - USSR ... seems to be the exhibition was devoted to the 30th anniversary of the USSR Union ... There's a man with a shoe and corn made ​​important discoveries in domestic art and exposure brilliantly improved ... So - short anecdote ... Looked that legendary show in our American arena and astonished, saying, REALLY ONE ARTIST cOULD WRITE SO MUCH ? ? ? ... MANY ... MANY ... ( shit , he does not seem able to pronounce ) ... what am I ? ? ? ... And remember : if you remove a dozen galleries with ARTBAZELYA and classics of the last century , I been in the shoes of the American anecdotal ... and only managed to say REALLY ONE ARTIST CAN DO , DO , DO aS MUCH , MUCH , MUCH SHIT ? ? ? ...
