ART DADDY UPDATE: The official New York Art Week recap is being pushed to Thursday so Daddy can properly integrate tonight’s auction theatrics into the larger psychological case study currently unfolding across Manhattan.

Quite frankly, there is too much to process. The linen-shirted British dealers. The divorced silver foxes power walking through the Park Avenue Armory on their third Ruinart. The emotionally unavailable creative directors in translucent Prada. The tech founder collectors pretending not to bid while sweating through cashmere. The situationships formed in VIP lounges only to dissolve by the second Phillips guarantee.

It has been a long week. Daddy has seen things.

Thursday’s report will include fair exhaustion, auction commentary, daddy taxonomy updates, market delusion levels, and several observations that are probably better left unpublished but unfortunately will not be.
