Eva and Adele, the pink-clad hermaphrodite twins of art, hit AFC’s radar both in Venice and today at the Art Basel fair in Switzerland. We’re not sure this means too much of anything, except of course that a contemporary art event is happening. As a matter of tradition, these girls once more christen our coverage.

"AS I'VE ROAMED THE ART WORLD, I'VE BEEN HABITUALLY AMUSED BY THE STATUS ANXIETIES OF ALL THE PLAYERS. DEALERS WHON ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THEIR BOOTH AT AN ART FAIR OR COLLECTORS KEEN TO BE FIRST IN LINE FOR A NEW 'MASTERPIECE' ARE PEHAPS THE MOST OBVIOUS INSTANCES, BUT NO ONE IS EXEMPT. AS JOHN BALDESSARI, LOS ANGELES-BASED ARTIST WHO SPEAKS WISELY AND WITTILY IN THESE PAGES, TOLD ME, 'ARTISTS HAVE HUGE EGOS, BUT HOW THAT MANIFESTS ITSELF CHANGES WITH THE TIMES. I FIND IT TEDIOUS WHEN I BUMP INTO PEOPLE WHO INSIST ON GIVING ME THEIR CV HIGHLIGHTS. I'VE ALWAYS THOUGT THAT WEARING BADGES OR RIBBONS WOULD SOLVE IT. IF YOU'RE SHOWING IN THE WHITNEY BIENNAL OR AT THE TATE, YOU COULD ANNOUNCE IT ON YOUR JACKET. ARTISTS COULD WEAR STRIPES LIKE GENERALS, SO EVERYONE WOULD KNOW THEIR RANK'."

by Charles Saatch: " Artists- if you study a great work of art, you'll probably find the artist was a kind of genius. And let's have no talk of temperamental, self-absorbed and petulant babies. Being a good artist is the toughest job you could pick, and you have to be a little nuts to take it on. I love them all."

How to become an Art Dealer

"THERE ARE ROUGHLY FIVE WAYS TO ENTER, BUT NONE OF THESE IS NECESSARILY AN EASIER OPTION....
1-(...)

2- MARRIAGE IS AN EXCELLENT WAY OF BECOMING A DEALER. MOST COMMONLY A HUSBAND/WIFE TEAM WORKS WITH ONE BUYING AND THE OTHER SELLING. THIS SET UP WORKS FOR BOTH SEXES: THE SECRETARY BIRD BECOMING THE PROPRIETESS AFTER MARRYING HER ART DEALER HUSBAND."
