Altman Building says…

We know how long you were saving up your pennies and nickels in order to nab that Francis Bacon triptych at the auction. You bid $86.2 million, but that sneaky Russian billionaire proposed just $100,000 more and brought home the Bacon. OK, if you really don't know what to do with all your loose change, bring your checkbook to this year's installment of the Affordable Art Fair. Works from more than 70 reputable galleries are priced in the more manageable range of $100-$10,000, giving amateur collectors the chance to unearth the art world's next hot young thing — remember, even Bacons were affordable at one point.
