This past weekend, 60,000 visitors, and hundreds of collectors dropping between $24,000 and $300,000 dollars a pop, embraced the Art World turning a blind and blissfull eye away from the Great Recession.

Organizers of this year’s Armory Show, upon the close of the week long spending and gwaking spree enthusiastically proclaimed, “robust sales, and record-breaking crowds!”

The Armory Show is one of the largest international art fairs and the 2nd largest in the U.S. This weekend Velvetpark‘s expert culture critics spent two days prowling the isles of Pier 94 to bring you the low down on the state of high art.

On Saturday Megan and I did one half the fair, and I returned with Prof C and D Cage the next day to argue about aesthetics… and sexual attraction.
