Auckland Art Fair

18-20 May 2007
Don't know exactly its significance
my say is that it has little
Yet who wouldn't want to be involved
If only its events and functions were
less pricey
120NZD entry to the elites' world
Perhaps I should just waitress there and see
what art they have to say and sell
the word 'vernissage' sounds
so much better than 'opening'
But
isn't it just an opening?


Vernissage is a French word that refers to the final flourishes made to a painting before public viewing. The word has evolved into a term which refers to the opening night of a significant art event. The Auckland Art Fair Vernissage gala party is just that."

whatever it is, it seems to have little to do with me
yet I still wish to go to the fair
