After two full days of gallery hopping (i saw an additional 34 galleries today), I'm packing for Germany & Italy.   I'll spend a few days at the Venice Biennale and then to Dusseldorf to talk to a gallery about a possible purchase.  This will be my 3rd Biennale!  I've successfully avoided all write-ups of the event  (the Biennale lasts about 6 months and though "everyone" goes in June, it's much cheaper and easier to go later - besides I've never really been one for "openings").  I'll write a quick post about my trip when I get back on Friday.n
