Snapshots from Paris Photo, Part 1

While we weren’t able to visit Paris Photo this year, that doesn’t mean we weren’t dying to know what went on. With the help of a couple of intrepid correspondents armed with their snapshot cameras, we’ve been able to cobble together a thoroughly random sampler of highlights. From a larger pile of images taken in booths and around the fair, I’ve edited the group down to the small selection below (caption information is below each image). In the visual overload of an art fair, what catches one person’s eye may be overlooked by the next person, so calling this “representative” of what was on display may or may not be entirely accurate. So why these and not others? Who knows, I’m just happy to get a glimpse of the fun.
