Recession appeal Collectors like nothing better than a good economic downturn
IT IS the world's most important contemporary art fair. Art Basel this year attracted 61,000 collectors, curators and art afficionados—more than ever before. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the five-day fair which closed on June 14th, drew over 300 galleries from 29 countries, showing works by more than 2,500 artists. To many it must have seemed as if the economic recession was happening elsewhere.
Michael Werner Gallery sold one of Peter Doig’s classic “Concrete Cabin” paintings from the mid-1990s for around $3m. And Larry Gagosian succeeded in selling one of Andy Warhol’s 1965 paintings of Campbell’s Soup cans for even more than that. The painting was part of a package of Warhol works that he acquired just over a year ago for $200m from the estate of Ileana Sonnabend, a famed New York dealer.
