With no doubt a highlight of the fair, Elmgreen and Dragset’s amusing White Poodle, as commentary on the repetitive nature of social media, at Massimo de Carlo gallery, was staring in circles at the works of Rob Pruitt, Sanford Biggers and Mel Bochner.

At Xavier Hufkens Gallery, Ken Price’s colorful, impeccably bulbous, sculpture Geodesic Pile from fired clay with multiple paint layers was shining from all sides, with a price nearing half a million American dollars.

At Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, Tomás Saraceno’s airy translucent hanging mobile-like structure was arresting upon entering the first floor of galleries, gorgeously contrasting with Kimsuja’s bright red agglomeration of used clothes and bedcovers.

Solemnly, at the other end of that first floor was the concrete blocks sculpture of Antony Gormley (Retreat, GBP 500,000) exhibited by White Cube. The British gallery, with a newly opened space in New York City, also put forward a tapestry by Etel Adnan (Rivière Bleue, EUR 170,000) and a delicate silk thread work by Doris Salcedo (top sale of the fair, USD 1,000,000).

Carl Kostyál stole the show at NADA with their solo booth by artist Camilla Enström which sold out very early on (Afternoon Nap, USD 44,000). Enström has an upcoming show with the London gallery at the end of the month, a second chance to catch a work by the rising market star.
