What’s the old line about acting? There are no small roles, only small actors? That came to mind while I was deep in the catalogues for London’s June auctions, which take place next week. There are no small auctions, only small lots. These June sales were once a major event on the art world calendar as buyers transited from Switzerland to London on a regular European buying jaunt. We’re told there were few Americans and Asians in Basel this week. Whether that’s a measure of the fair’s success in bringing galleries to three continents, or a comment on the global funk that’s been limiting the art market, no one seems to know.
