Bloomberg News published a mostly negative review of Miami's private art collections and Art Basel Miami in general. However, Favre's work was mentioned in a positive light: "To be surprised, you had to venture into the smaller galleries and satellite fairs. Discoveries for me were Christopher Kurtz's wood sculptures, including "First Dark" (2010), an abstract amalgamation of ornament, bird and star; Valerie Favre's inventive, narrative ink drawings and collages exploring themes of performance and dream; and the quirky, mixed-media tree sculptures of Gonzalo Gonzalez." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
