Art World Abstracts: Brands Have Basically Taken Over Everything, and More!

Do you remember that time at Art Basel—whether it be in Miami, or Hong Kong, or Basel—when someone started handing out Davidoff cigars? I remember pretty much precisely. It was at a party for Gladstone Gallery at an 18th Century castle in Switzerland, my first time in Basel, that fairytale of a town with ancient buildings frosted like birthday cakes, the land of free public transportation and $70 whiskey sodas. So when someone started handing out Davidoff cigars, I figured it was simply a perk of the party, some extension of the largess that landed us in a castle in the first place. Not quite!
