This week, we’re cracking open more than just lukewarm bubbly—Dear Daddy brings you an unhinged field report from the art fair circuit with full coverage of Frieze, Independent, and TEFAF, plus the exclusive tea on the now-infamous RuinartGate (yes, I broke that story for you, you’re welcome).

We talk to James Cohan, who kept it cool amid the VIP chaos; Anton Kern, who offered dry wit and collector realness; and Kate Park, dialing in from Hong Kong with the kind of international glam and market intel that had us scribbling notes mid-interview. Add in some deeply disoriented fairgoers, a woman weeping in front of a Condo, and someone who confused TEFAF for a Goop event, and baby—you’ve got a show.

It’s messy, sparkling, and more than a little unhinged. Just like the art world itself.
