Dear _____,

The Breakfast Club is a 1985 coming-of-age film. 

PROVENCE is still coming of age. It’s been coming of age for ages. If you get the joke.

Or Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Art Basel is just around the corner.

This reminded me of something: some years ago, already deep into Basel week, day 4 or so, I ran into a curator who told me, with genuine pride, that they hadn’t spent a single franc on food since arriving. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, always offered, always included.

It sounded great. And it was. But on the other hand, art and money often run in opposite directions. So here we are: PROVENCE’s Art Basel Breakfast Itinerary, a list of where to find free (or almost free) breakfasts throughout Art Basel week. Your mileage may vary depending on your press, VIP, or Plus-One status.

Yours, 
PROVENCE
