Pernille Grane, the gallery manager of Galerie Jaeger Bucher from Paris, France says:

- How did you find the fair?

We are actually the oldest gallery in the fair as we were founded in 1925 and we are very happy with the way it went and the reception to our artists. Michael Biberstein received a lot of attention and many of the collectors that we met came back and we have also made very good contacts. It is more international this year compared to last year and the first two days for the preview, there were more people than last year

- What was the best bit?

What we like is that people don’t come up immediately and ask what is the price of the work. They are curious, they ask questions about the artists even if they don’t know who the artists are. Later they ask about the price and that is very positive.

- What was the worst bit?

Nothing really. I mean I think the air conditioning is too cold but that is just a personal thing. Also, it is not as if people buy immediately and they do like to negotiate on the price.

- Will you be coming back?

We feel that this is an upcoming fair and that it was the right time for us to come in last year so we will definitely come back.
