Art Paris Art Fair 2018

Last Wednesday was a bit like today...drizzly…its easy to stay inside and draw. But ART PARIS was opening.
Grand Palais is always a treat no matter how stay-at-home you feel.
Such a fantastic, airy space. Everybody was there. Long, long lines waiting to get. Plenty of pkids!
So much color. Always uplifting.
More color.
A plastic bottle montage.
Wall of eyes + round objects.
A gallery of Corbusier watercolor drawings.
What Parisians are wearing is half of the show.

Champagne chariots stratigically placed.

A 'thank you' note from Swiss kinetic artist Jean Tinguely painted on corrugated cardboard to a Brazilian client.

Loose, casual drawings, look like they were drawn with a branch. I felt like I paint with a pin.
Armin's tubes of yellow ochre encased in plexiglass.
More color - bold, splashy paintings from a Frankfurt gallery, Die Galerie.
On the way home seen in the metro station - Marimeko's bold, splashy prints at Uniglo. I got the one the dotty one on the left. The ISLE OF DOGS poster could have been in the show. 
Next year I won't hesitate to go to ART PARIS.

    Wow, those dogs are sort of creepy! It's the eyes. The Yellow Ochre paint leaves me with wonderment, how? why? Love the Marrimekko bag and dress, yum.

    Looks very interesting & even though I'm not a big fan of modern art, the color and imagination involved is fascinating to me.

    A fascinating collection. I loved the dogs -- it should have been in the show. Reminded me of a documentary I recently saw on WWI veterans who were in a bad way and it's very powerful. Love the color, though not all the art in the show knocks me ut. I much prefer yours, to be honest.

    What a joy it is to receive your Paris breakfast. I was a student in Paris back in the dark ages (1956-56) after spending a year in Switzerland learning the French language. How luck you are to live in Paris.

    Do you know if the Grand Palais exhibit and the Van Cleef one are still going to be up next month? Am trying to decide whether to come to Paris in late May... :) I know it's always a good time.
