27. Riches and Riots at Art Basel Paris

This week, Georgina is reporting from a Paris, a city currently rattled by protests, and from Art Basel Paris (artbasel.com/paris), which pulled off a remarkable commercial week, despite announcing they are closing early in the face of the city’s student protests and riots.
Georgina explains how Art Basel strong-armed the historic FIAC out of its October slot, the mounting tension between a tens-of-millions art bubble, what the dealers thinking of it all, how it compares to Frieze last week, do Americans now prefer Paris to London, can Basel in Switzerland can survive its Parisian cousin, and is stuff actually selling?
Plus, Georgina visits the inaugural Post Fair (post-fair.com), and looks at the rise of art shown in lovely Parisian apartments...
Enjoy!
