The New York art world is keeping the latest big thing under wraps as dozens of mega-collectors are reputed to be attending a super-secretive art fair slated to take place in the US Virgin Islands in May. A source tells us that gallerists are clamoring to set up booths at the exclusive venue, known as The Island, which will feature special water sports activities, but details are not being shared. Rumors suggest that artist Andres Serrano and Jeff Koons had been tapped for special commissions. Our source mentioned that all sales at the event will be redacted after the fact, but was unable to explain what that exactly meant. We reached out to several high-profile art collectors and museum board members to confirm their attendance. They all swore they weren’t going.
