恩克·坎普克斯(Anke Kempkes)是一位颇受尊敬的曼哈顿交易商,他已经连续五次申请失败了。多尔塞·瓦科斯塔(Dorsey Waxter)是美国艺术交易商协会(Art Dealers Association)主席,帮助组织很受欢迎的纽约艺术展,她也失败了好几年。
“I have been with the in-crowd at the Art Show but I am not in Basel, Ms. Waxter said.
“我已经打入艺术展的时髦小圈子,但还是没法进入巴塞尔,瓦科斯塔女士说。
A Little Fair Grows Bigger
从小展览起家
It wasn’t always this way. When Art Basel began 45 years ago in a staid Swiss town bestknown for banking regulations, it was primarily a fair for European galleries hoping to sellModern and contemporary art to the growing ranks of mainly European collectors.
一开始并不是这样的。45年前,巴塞尔艺术展在这座一本正经、以银行业而闻名的瑞士小镇上开幕,基本上只是一个欧洲画廊的集会,让画廊能把手头的现当代艺术品出售给日益增加的收藏家们。这些收藏家主要来自欧洲。
Galleries were usually invited back year after year. But a jury system, introduced later in the1970s to screen applicants, gradually became more rigorous as Basel leveraged its Swissefficiency, convenient location and five-star service to attract and cultivate an ever wealthierand more demanding clientele.
