	THIS IS MY SOUND
	"There are words that sound as if they come from old legends. One is afraid to use them. To write them. To pronounce them. Nor is it very clear exactly what they mean today. But then, in an effort to find the term that expresses what you feel in the most precise way, express what you really want to describe, sometimes they just appear in your head. Earnestness, for example.Earnest — does it mean…

	Budapest’s newest commercial art gallery is located in the ground-floor flat of a lovely old house in the heart of the city. In the courtyard, stairs with a stone railing lead up to a small porch big enough to host a smallish crowd of people chatting and smoking for openings. From there one can enter the gallery. The stairs, the stone railing and the porch, as well as the house itself, are relics…

	FUTURA O. S.
	In the low-budget Czech landscape, new Futura Gallery has made a truly adrenaline-pumping impact. During the take-off of everything new, the stories surrounding unfettered projects are always full of optimism, and big hope.

Pověsti o těžkých časech na trhu s uměním jsou opět velmi přehnané...

Letošní 50. ročník Art Basel přilákal celkem 93 000 návštěvníků a sběratelů z 80 zemí světa. 290 prémiových galerií představilo umělecká díla od počátku 20. století až po současnost. Hlavní sektor přehlídky, tradičně v prvním patře výstavního prostoru, představil 232 předních galerií z celého světa nabízející umění nejvyšší kvality. Veletrh ukázal vzestupný trend prodeje prostřednictvím galerií jak soukromým sbírkám, tak i institucím. Kromě hlavního veletrhu stály za návštěvu i ty přidružené: Volta, Liste a Photo Basel, k tomu doprovodné programy a výstavy v místních institucích, které kvalitou daleko přesahují hranice města tj. Kunsthalle Basel, Kunstmuseum, Tinguely muzeum nebo Fondation Beyeler.
