Overheard at Art Basel Paris

Overheard’s going on the Eurostar, baby. This time we’re at Art Basel Paris to spread word of the cringiest convos from the crowd

Plaster tackles the Art Basel Paris discourse

Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire. We’d barely come up for air post-Frieze, and mon dieu… straight into Art Basel Paris (we didn’t even have time to reprint our MILF and DILF t-shirts for the occasion – zut alors!). Oh well, it’s time for Plaster in Paris. Full disclosure, our team isn’t technically in Paris, but our amazing community were primed to listen in on the most unhinged chats of VIP day for your nosey pleasure.

Buckle up!

If I'm dropping ten grand on a painting the least he can do is call me mademoiselle instead of madame.

People who love Doron Langberg also liked 'A Little Life' by Hanya Yanagihara.

Can anyone ID this Paris collector? His first name is Mathieu and his last name sounds like Allard.

I'm sure the light at the Grand Palais is damaging the works on paper.

I was happy to see that straight, white male artists can still win awards.

You are Anna Nicole Smith. Like her, you are also fantastic at raising money.

I'm not gonna lie, the Grand Palais is a big slay.

Ugh, it's so hard to constantly redefine yourself aesthetically.

I can't wear Vans: my feet are too small and my legs are too chunky.

I just witnessed a woman sighing loudly at having to remove her IQOS packets from her Birkin to make room for her chihuahua.

I meet so many people at the fairs I need a memory palace.

I heard a certain PR from Southern Europe stepped on Jonathan Anderson (it was an accident, swear down)...
