“People like you need to fuck people like me,” reads a scarlet neon sign by Tracey Emin, brightening the pool house of mega-collector Eugenio López, who was nowhere to be found during the kick-off party for the third edition of Art Los Angeles Contemporary (ALAC), Jan. 19-22, 2012, which was installed at the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport. According to locals, Mr. Jumex can be one elusive host; apparently he never leaves his bedroom during his own parties. How cool is that?
