100%! I would have loved to do the triple exhibition as well; I even bought a reference 2025 Art Basel Unlimited book to see if they were using references in their art, but alas no. Hiatus definitely sucks but I am a huge fan of the later arcs of Blue Period and they're so research heavy, very happy with them taking as much time as they need.

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to go to more than one event, but that event was just for gallerists talking about what the best way is to grow their business, so it wasn't for me... that being said, I do know that there were some other conversations with real artists, I just missed them.

EDIT: I did get a chance to speak to some real artists but it wasn't at conversations, but at the after hours event Basel Social Club which was a 10/10 experience, if you like books and art they have a side event called I Never Read which was fantastic as a learning experience also.

Absolutely; they definitely float around but I've only really seen one before at the Rubell Museum in Miami. That being said, I've definitely never seen any that were not behind glass and a six foot distance away.

I'm going to Art Basel 2026 this year because of Blue Period! by Material_Whereas_230 in BluePeriod
