Sheika-maker: At the Art Paris-Abu Dhabi art fair
By Lynn Chen
Art fairs in emerging markets are always a gamble and such was the case at Art Paris-Abu Dhabi last week, the satellite branch of the Parisian fair, back in the United Arab Emirates for a second year. Besides the general lack of organization and indifferent sales, the fair was marred by the behavior of one errant collector.
The woman in question was said to be a sheika in the Abu Dhabi royal family and a prominent collector on the local scene. She made the r… Continue

Rio favela painting itself out of a corner
By Brendan McGetrick
A couple of weeks ago a minor miracle took place in Rio. In Vila Cruzeiro, a favela in the Penha section, hundreds of people gathered to celebrate the completion of a painting. Along a winding concrete staircase that extends from the favela's main street Rua Santa Helena, a duo of Dutch artists known as Haas & Hahn created a 2000 square-metre mural.
