Ah, Armory Week. Nothing beats rushing around to about five different fairs, briefly greeting everyone you\u2019ve ever met, and being at least a touch hungover while you do it all. Or, perhaps you\u2019re a gallerist on the sales hustle, in which case just replace \u201crushing around to five different fairs\u201d with \u201ccooped up in a single booth.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway, it hurts but it\u2019s worth it to see masterpieces, discover new artists, and people watch. If we\u2019re being honest, isn\u2019t the people watching kind of the most fun part? After all, what\u2019s the point of spending hours rubbing up against each other in art-filled aisles if we\u2019re not going to use at least some of that time to silently judge our fellow fairgoers? In that spirit, here are some of the best lines overheard this week throughout the halls of the fairs and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Artist<\/strong>: \u201cI\u2019ve figured out I have a PR problem. I have the art, I have the collectors, but no one knows who I am!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man to me<\/strong>: \u201cI love your dress. Congratulations!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Woman, regarding the food at ADAA:<\/strong> \u201cOh my! There\u2019s a line.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gallerist<\/strong>: \u201cCash me ousside. How bow dah?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: \u201cI feel like we\u2019re in all the wrong places at all the wrong times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A waitress, regarding the food at ADAA<\/strong>: \u201cOh my god, people grab it away so frantically.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Woman<\/strong>: \u201cI\u2019m reaching into my bag of tricks so I can give you a business card!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Woman<\/strong>: \u201cYou look so cute. I\u2019ve been here all day. I look absolutely disgusting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Man<\/strong>: \u201cWhatever happened to that woman who got stabby at Art Basel? Did she go to jail?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Woman to Uber driver regarding her husband:<\/strong> \u201cHe\u2019s over there smoking weed, so please just hold on a sec.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A waiter to me, regarding the food at ADAA:<\/strong> \u201cMiss, please just use the tongs next time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
