As the Midget Gallery did not succeed in Frieze, the dwarves would like to try again, and this time at the greatest art fair in the world: Art Basel, the sacred temple of art, the place in which artistic quality and economic value converge to form absolute artistic value.

They were sure they would succeed in entering the fair because they went in order to buy an artwork. In fact a great collector with the generosity of a patron had supported the Midget Gallery with twenty thousand dollars. So they would surely gain easy access.

Proud of themselves, with great seriousness they first made a detailed appraisal of the collection they had to enrich and started discussing with gallery staff, asking about prices and reserving artworks: the fair became a real fairy-tale.

However, on account of all the artworks sold before the preview, the works that were too expensive and others that could not be detached from the walls to be brought home as the dwarves would have liked, in the end the Midget Gallery was not able to settle any transaction. Disappointment? Yes and no, because now the dwarves are negotiating with a gallery that promised to ask an artist to make something worth less than twenty thousand dollars. The artist is the one who made the artwork they liked best of all: a duck with its bum in a washtub, while between its open legs a dick-stick stood out. The dwarves would be content with the purchase of just two legs: let’s see if the gallery and the artist accept.
