A string of people with physical disabilities show quiet determination as they cross the same street in Martin Creed’s Work No. 1701 (2013) in Unlimited, presented by Gavin Brown, New York, and Hauser & Wirth, Zürich (U26). It is a deeply empathetic film—and the artist-written tune You Return that serves as the soundtrack is catchy as hell.
Nasa’s Lunar Orbiter 5 unmanned spacecraft created the one-off photograph Lunar Surface (1967). You can find it on Daniel Blau’s stand (F3) for the not-so-astronomical sum of €15,000. Beautiful and out of this world.
At Esther Schipper gallery (S1), Daniel Steegmann Mangrané is inviting fairgoers to squeeze their own juice in Oranges Oranges 2 (Medium Lemon/Summer Blue) (2004), prices at €45,000. The artist describes this as “part of a huge performance, the integral theatre of a man’s life”.
You'll have to blow €250,000 to buy Parreno’s Speech Bubbles (2009), whimsically floating in Esther Schipper’s booth(S1)—but you get 1,500 balloons in the bargain, bringing the individual cost per bubble to just €166.67.
Katharina Fritsch’s Hohle Maus (hollow mouse) (1992/2015) is impossible to miss. A statuesque supermodel among rodents, she looks poised to sashay off Matthew Marks Gallery’s stand (A12) when the right collector catches her eye.
