After The Show

Ok, this is me talking, Judy, owner of Alpen Antiks. I just finished reading cousin Betty's posts of her adventures in Aspen. Little does she know what lies ahead when she returns.... heh-heh

Last week The Aspen Art & Antiques fair took place in Aspen at the Aspen Ice Garden (Aspen Skating Rink) You are probably wondering: On the ice? There was no ice on the rink but there were about 60 million dollars in inventory on display for all who ventured to see. Quite impressive. After entering the rink on a red carpeted hallway you completely forgot where you were. I was stationed at the entrance to the show and became the unoffical greeter to attendees. After living in Aspen for close to 30 years I know many people. I had already seen many of the second homeowners prior to the show after I announced the arrival of the latest European shipment I purchased in March & April with cousin Betty.

I had the pleasure of viewing a 6.45 million dollar painting once owned by Syllvestor Stallone and Michael Jackson at my post during the entire show. Attendees at the show were as colorful and impressive as the fair itself. Close to 40 vendors from around the world were displaying their wares.

I am now in my office catching up on paperwork & reorganizing the shop after the show.

Note: I need to take more photos.......
