Art Fairs have become an interesting feature in the landscape of the art world. (I mean the high end kind, not outdoor weekend ones in EZ-up tents). I've only been to a couple here in Southern California, to me they seem a combination of spectacle and trade show (perhaps very much like Fashion Week!)
Art Fair Art has become its own genre -- showy large pieces that capture the eye and generate buzz.
Here are a few pieces that tickled my fancy and involved the written word
(it being Maricel's Thoughtful Third Thursday and all):
