| Art Unlimited at Basel Photos by Mary Barone The 31st annual Swiss art fair includes, for the first time, a special section devoted to 70 large-scale art projects by contemporary artists. The opening event included a performance by the artist Cai Guo-Quiang, who set off a wall of fireworks that left behind shredded paper and residue in the form of a beautiful swirling dragon. Needless to say it got the art-collecting ball rolling with excitement. Some of the more interesting projects include: |
