We never quite know what to say after attending a large art and/or design fair. Did we see anything that particularly stood out? Of course. Did we identify any trends? Does it matter? Sure, there were motifs here and there — marble abounded once again in the design tent, as did Prouvé, while the artists seemed really into pineapples and coconuts this year — but all that feels pretty inconsequential. When we attend shows like these, we have a lot of fun documenting them as we go, and meeting new people doing interesting things along the way. Then we come home with a trove of new talents to explore for future Sight Unseen stories. That's really the heart of it. So while we'd planned to tell you more about what sold (Sebastian Errazuriz's motorcycle, clocks by Humans Since 1982, Vuitton's Perriand cabana), what didn't sell (actually we have no idea), and what the mood of this year's show was like (It was better than last year! It was worse than last year!), we think we'll leave it at this: 134 annotated photos on our Facebook page sharing our highlights from the fair, so you can make some discoveries of your own.
