BTW, I have a pierced colon, and it makes for an intriguing conversation at a Highland Park cocktail party. Billy Fong, billy@ papercitymag.com Marc Jacobs CONVERSATION Raphaëlle Bischoff, co-founder and co-owner of London-based gallery Bischoff/Weiss, fields questions from Kenny Goss, the man at the top of The Goss-Michael Foundation, Dallas. Describe your trajectory as a gallerist, and how you and Paola Weiss came to found the gallery. Paola and I met in 2004, and after curating a few projects together we decided to open a gallery. We found a little space in the East End just behind Hoxton Square. The rent was low, and our location was perfect at the time. The area was really buzzing with lots of other young galleries around us. From left: Raphaëlle Bischoff Paola Weiss Who will the headliners be in your booth? Rana Begum, Nathaniel Rackowe and Michael Reisch. Begum does sculpture, Kenny Goss and she comes from Bangladesh. Rackowe is from the UK and also does sculpture that involve light. Reisch comes from Germany and does very large-scale photographs. What is your personal background? Paola's? What strengths do you both bring to running a gallery, and what roles do each of you play? Paola and I come from very different backgrounds. Although we started with different roles at the gallery, I would say that through time we have really merged, and we always take all the decisions together. Our tastes have become more similar with time, and if we both go around an art fair separately, chances are that we will like the same works. I see this as a real strength, as we have a very clear vision of the gallery's program, and we are a very strong team. For the rest of the conversation, peruse papercitymag.com.

Dallas came naturally to us for two reasons. The first one is that we now have close relationships with lots of collectors in Texas, and the second one is that some galleries that we like really recommended the fair. The team of the fair has been incredibly welcoming, and we are very impatient to take on this new challenge.

Lacy Ball Restaurant Buzz brought to byto by you brought you DALLAS O ART FAIR n Saturday, February 16, the Blanton Museum of Art at University of Texas in Austin marks a milestone. The country's largest university museum hits a half-century and celebrates with both an exhibition and a black-tie bash (PaperCity is media sponsor). The museum is the site of the big-ticket fête, as well as a Gold a Go-Go After Party. Tapped as honorary gala chairs are retired UT prez Larry Faulkner and former Blanton director Jessie Hite — two influencers who shaped the reborn Blanton's $83.5 million building (unveiled 2006) and its holdings, such as the Italian Old Master canvases and works on paper that comprise the Suida-Manning John William Godward's Bellezza Pompeiana, 1909, at Collection of Renaissance and Baroque art. Twenty-two Blanton Museum of Art regional chairs have stepped forward, including megacollectors Cindy and Howard Rachofsky; fellow Dallas denizens Patty and James Huffines; Austin's astute Jeanne and Mickey Klein; and Suzanne Deal Booth (who gifted the James Turrell skyspace that graces Rice University) and husband David Booth. With tables of 10 priced from $10,000 to $100,000 and sponsorship tickets at $1,500, this soirée, mounted in the Blanton's 124,000-square-foot Michener Building, will lure the big boys and girls of the art contingent to support the museum's ever-expanding mission. (Its 17,000 artworks include the Suida-Manning cache; American gems such as Jerry Bywaters' Oil Field Girls, acquired by a bequest from late scribe James A. Michener and wife Mari; modernist and contemporary Latin American holdings; and the only encyclopedic print collection in Texas.) The party includes an exclusive preview of "Through the Eyes of Texas: Masterworks from Alumni Collections," organized by Blanton curator Annette DiMeo Carlozzi — a look at the acquisition acumen of UT grads. The exhibition boasts art across the millennia, from Monet to pre-Raphaelite canvases, the Egyptians, Mayans and Romans to Rauschenberg, plus Janine Antoni's portrait busts in soap and chocolate that riff on antiquity.
