F ew scents are more recog- nizable than Chanel No. 5. The fragrance, which Gabrielle Coco Chanel and business partner Ernest Beaux debuted in 1921, is the unofficial olfactory symbol of wealth, privilege, and old-money chic. This month, in an unprecedented debut, Olivier Polge, who was named Chanel's official fragrance creator in early 2015, modernized No. 5 with notes of Mayrose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, ve- tiver, cedar, and musk to create No. 5 L'Eau.

Jailyn Marcel Restaurant BUZZ Chanel No. 5 L'Eau Nobu and Fig & Olive at the Galleria A look behind- the-scenes at one gallerist who is pack- ing for the Fair. Betty Moody weighs in. Moody Gallery's first art fair. The Chicago International Art Exposition at the Navy Pier in 1982. Today we all know about Art Basel and Art Basel Miami Beach and the hundreds of art fairs that occur throughout the world, but in the '80s and most of the '90s there were basically three art fairs in the world, and two were important: Art Basel in Switzerland and Chicago. Why exhibit at the Texas Contemporary. Because of the staff at Art Market, the collec- tors, curators, art con- sultants that attend, the participating art galleries — many are dear friends –— and it's just a fun fair for me and my staff. I love the layout of the Fair this year, and my space, and the artwork we are taking with us. It's going to be an outstand- ing event!

Logistics. T h e p l a n n i n g started conceptu- ally after the first of the year. The new James Drake ( m o n u m e n t a l ) drawing and the n e w M e l i s s a Miller became the key pieces from which we built the rest of the ex- hibition. Then, of course, other new work came to the gallery, which was appropriate for the fair. For us, the art- work determines the layout of the booth. I view the selection and installation as if I'm putting together a group show in my own gallery.
