Were these scenes of decadent excess taken at one of the Art Basel art fairs or at Coachella? Herewith, the answers to our quiz.

The Corporate Headquarters

Hippos in suits? Definitely a work of performance art -- but one that was held at Coachella. Want to know more? My colleague Lorraine Ali has the story.  (Marcus Yam / Los Angeles Times)

Attractive noodles

The unlikely answer for this one: Coachella. These tasty noodles look like the sort of high-falutin’ dish you’d find at Art Basel in Hong Kong. But they’re courtesy of Ramen Champ, one of the food vendors at Coachella.   (Bethany Mollenkof / Los Angeles Times)

Art oatmeal

These big tubs of oatmeal are from Art Basel. More specifically, they were part of an art installation by Jennifer Rubell at the Rubell Collection in Miami in December 2010. Methinks the art crowd needs to step up the food game. The Coachella hippies are eating our lunch.   (Carolina A. Miranda / Los Angeles Times)

Wall of red light

Not an art installation but the backdrop to one of the stages at Coachella.   (Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times)

Carsten Holler at Art Basel

This looks like it could be a critter from the Mojave, but it’s a sculpture by the Belgian artist Carsten Holler, on view during Art Basel in Hong Kong in March.   (Vincent Yu / Associated Press)
