Day 2 at the Basel Art Fair
“So I took them upstairs and sold it to them there. It was soooo much easier.”
Dealer: “Jenny is drawing at the moment.”
Collector: “Oh… that’s a shame.”
“You don’t understand the pressure I’m under. Your work is a B-. This is definitely a B+”
Dealer 1: “That’s interesting.”
Dealer 2: “Very interesting.”
Dealer 1: “Interesting enough?”
Dealer 2: “No.”
“I’m kicking myself for selling the Warhol too soon.”
Dealer: “I’m afraid they have all been sold.”
Collector: “All of them?”
Dealer: “All of them.”
Collector: (pause) “What about that one?”
