On June 8th, Chicago based Shane Campbell Gallery\u00a0filed a lawsuit in New York\u2019s Southern District Court \u201con behalf of hundreds of art galleries and other persons . . . who paid substantial sums to participate\u201d seeking $15 million, plus damages.\u00a0 In the complaint, Campbell alleges that the fair was grossly negligent in preparing the site for such heat and ensuring a reasonably efficient air conditioning system.<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/06\/08\/arts\/design\/frieze-fair-offers-compensation-for-heat-faces-lawsuit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Frieze Fair Put a Price on High Heat.
