An almighty bang sent White Cube honcho Jay Jopling into a spin yesterday at Art Basel. The London dealer was seen running around a corner in the fair, hollering: “Has someone been shot?” But panic not Jay, no gun shots were fired. The mysterious smash apparently came from an object crashing to the ground at a nearby gallery on the first floor of Hall 2. Accidents will happen.
