Speaking of Art Fair art, art fairs are the only places I’ve ever seen art by Mr. Brainwash.
I take it you’ve never visited “art of the world“ in ole Houston town. I believe they proudly advertise works Mr. B on their website.
Regarding the article, we should be as depressed at the death of the contemporary art fair as we should be with the ending of the Kardashians TV show.
