A Week in the Art World: Friday

Well Reader, I am sharing my take on a week in the art world, or rather the small world of this particular artist caught between ARTnews and life while still adapting to postgraduate studies...

News, Friday January 31, 2020:
World Health Organization declares Coronavirus a public health emergency and Art Basel Hong Kong is likely affected; Los Angeles County Museum receives $50 million pledge for new
campus; Dali sculptures and etchings brazenly stolen in Sweden.

Meanwhile: The Yankee artist wakes to find that she is thankfully not hung-over after attending an art party at Rasheed Araeen's Shamiyana. Indeed, she is gleeful—for even though it was only 3 glasses of wine, she was definitely a bit giggly and the hangover probability was high for such a lightweight. At the end of the day however, much to her chagrin, she realizes that her English cohorts must be feeling depressed about the official end of the UK’s membership in the EU. She feels like a total dolt for not realizing this sooner. Damn Yankee.
