Money is the object. Put another way, in this context all the objects on view basically equal cash. And anyone allergic to the political, never mind the activist, in contemporary art will find a refuge here.
Most of us are just window-shoppers, strolling the aisles for information and pleasure, and this year's fair offers plenty of both.
The size of the show feels right, 60-plus booths spread over three floors, offering variety even within the narrow formal range of cash-and-carry goods that art fairs were conceived to accommodate.
Pace Gallery offers an absolute whitest of white-box settings for a pairing of Robert Mangold's shaped paintings and Arlene Shechet's abstract sculptures. Contrastingly, David Zwirner's booth has the scuffed-up look of a college dorm lounge.
