I've been going to FIAC (the Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain) forever it seems and it always both astonishing, exhausting and frustrating.
Astonishing, because you come upon these works you couldn't imagine finding, such as the photo of Charlotte Rampling and Brazilian supermodel Raquel Zimmerman, both nude, in the Louvre by Juergen Teller.
Exhausting and frustrating because of the mobs and tons of "so what art."
Hi John, although Raquel has a german surname, as a matter of fact she's brazilian. My companion worked with her a few times and he says she's gentle and sweet!

That's interesting because I cribbed the German origin off a website; I'll correct it.
