TABlog reports on G-Tokyo 2010, the first edition of a newly launched art fair.
Held this past weekend (January 30-31) at the Mori Arts Center Gallery, the event is more modest in scale compared other recent fairs (like 101TOKYO, which doesn’t seem like it will return this year), including only a few galleries, but giving each more space to show off works. TABlog posts a gallery of photos from the opening.

Thanks for the link, Jean. Yes, “G-tokyo” was fun if only just to check out how much space each gallery had! Fingers crossed the “101Tokyo” does return this year.
Do you really think there’s a chance that 101TOKYO will happen? I mean, we’re almost the middle of February, and still no word, and nothing on the website. I just can’t see anything happening, not for April at least.
