UNTITLED, ART. Brian Boucher's Dispatch I San Francisco, January 16, 2020
Brian Boucher’s Dispatch | San Francisco, January 16, 2020 Dear reader, Oh, hello there. I’m Brian Boucher. If you hadn’t heard, I’m the writer-in-residence for the fourth edition of UNTITLED, ART, San Francisco. I’ll be your guide to the fair, which brings together sixty galleries from a dozen countries on Pier 35 at the Embarcadero, from January 17–19. As a reporter for Art in America and artnet News, and currently as an independent writer, I’ve traveled the world to report on art fairs, from Dubai to Dallas and New York to Hong Kong. But it’s my first time serving as a fair’s very own writer, and as far as I know, no other fair has ever had a resident writer, so we’re all a little part of history here. (I’m following in the footsteps of my friend Osman Can Yerabacan, who was UNTITLED, ART’s writer in residence at the Miami edition, last month.)
