More from Basel

One of the few paintings by a Chinese artist at Art Basel, this mammoth canvas was a triptych. What you see is only a small section of the painting, with Jim and Judy in the foreground. We were struck by the size of the painting and the rendering of the heads, as if they were in heaven looking down on the rest of us. Unfortunately, I was not able to capture the name of the artist. But I think we should look out for him in the future.

So much of the art in Basel was by an artist with an established reputation. Many works could have been seen in a museum setting. Of course, this is the place where all those with money do their buying for the year. This painting was unusual in my view.
