Highlights from FIAC 2017

TAKASHI MURAKAMI

From October 19 to 22, 193 modern and contemporary galleries from 29 countries came together beneath the steel and glass barrel-vaulted ceiling of the Grand Palais in Paris for the 44th edition of FIAC. The first day of the fair was expectedly brimming with visitors, and had something of the air of a crowded marketplace where collectors might be overheard arguing over the value of a sculpture based on the longevity of the Pepto-Bismol from which it was made.
