William Sarradet and Brandon Zech break down the good and the bad from this year’s Dallas Art Fair.
“On one hand, you can’t take your local dealers for granted and expect to have a successful fair. I think that’s a fact. On the other hand, you can’t have a successful fair if you’re only showing local galleries.”
