Art Basel
Run into Benito and buddies four times through the day. Standing in line at the ATM at Basel I met the Curator of Contemporary painting for the Art Institute of Chicago. I tell him about having just seen the Hopper show and my thought about continuing where he left off and my father’s scholarship to the Art Institute. See Charles Cowles from New York three times and on the third offer to buy him lunch or a drink. He was leaving town tomorrow for a couple days then returning. I said he had to know more about the art world than anyone I’ve met and I would like to hear what he thought. Since I’m so isolated. I asked about his Art Forum days. He was the publisher for 15 years. Then introduced myself to Jay Jopling of White Cube. I told him that it was breathtaking how he has mastered the art world. He has always wanted to come to Montana. He asked if I had seen the show with paintings at his gallery.
Met a couple from Dusseldorf who said the museums are clustered together but not the galleries.
