I went with Narelle and her closest friend Chris, a textile designer. Narelle introduced me to every Tom, Dick, and Harry. She is essentially the mayor of Art SG. She knew everyone, and everyone knew her. Artists, gallerists, collectors, curators. It made the evening fast paced, social, and surprisingly warm.

There was a strong Malaysian presence, which stood out!

If I had bought the two pieces I genuinely liked, the bill would already have been around USD200.000. Nothing wrong with dreaming.

Art Singapore is held at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre.

The evening ended with an Italian dinner and good stories. The only high you can feel after spending time looking at the effort made by amazing world class artists.

The fair runs until Sunday.
