Welcome to the "art museum" where everything is on sale.
At this year's edition of Art Fair Tokyo, which was postponed after the March 11 earthquake and will be held July 29-31 at Tokyo International Forum, there are booth-displays from 133 commercial art galleries, mostly from Japan. Visitors will have a huge variety of art to peruse and, if they fancy, buy. Here is a sample of what we think is best.
Regular Art Fair Tokyo visitors won't want to miss Misa Shin Gallery, a new gallery that opened in Tokyo's Shirokane district last November. Misa Shin is the woman who between 2005 and 2010 served as Art Fair Tokyo's director and more-or-less set it on its current path. She decided, for example, that it should include a wide variety of types of galleries — from those covering contemporary art to those specializing in antiques.
