The rooftop commissary at the Independent offered the best view of the week. This Eli almond croissant was filled with rich cream, one of the finest art-fair pastries we've ever had.

Doing an impromptu reading from his Exuberance Manifesto number 16.

He drew all over it then sold it for $40,000 to a man in a pinstripe suit.

In one of two rooms of the gallery, the late graffiti artist Rammellzee's Letter Racers, souped up skateboards--which represented letters of the alphabet, were hung from the ceiling and illuminated by black light.

We can't really tell which way is up. Maybe that's the point. Only one person could fit into this exhibition at a time.

The baby carriage boom has made its way into the Dependent Art Fair.

This is the second half of the line.

"One picture," Mr. Owens said after he completed a performance as part of his exhibition "Anthology," which was an enactment of Kara Walker's score. Mr. Owens invited Ms. Walker to join him in this final performance of his 10-month residency at MoMA PS1.

For the third time, Stephen Prina and Wade Guyton held a one-night show at Petzel, on Saturday. It was identical to their last two shows, except the paintings were mint green instead of light blue or rose.

This week, Gallerist had all kinds of fun. Beginning at the piers for the Armory, we continued on to the Independent in Chelsea and then the Dependent Art Fair at the Comfort Inn on Ludlow Street, where hordes of people crammed into tiny hotel rooms to catch sight of all the ways emerging galleries made use of them, from wall to wall installations to mock protests. We stopped along the way to see Rob Pruitt signing books and toilet paper, naked, and watched Kara Walker and Clifford Owens engage in an unusual performance. We capped our evenings with nights on the town from openings to art fair after-parties. Here are some pictures from our favorite art outings of the week.
