Frieze London 2019 Round-Up: Here’s Everything We Published All In One Place

by admin
Oct 14, 2019
artnet

Every October, the art world descends upon London to exchange
pleasantries about the long summer, trade all manners of gossip
about the industry, and (hopefully) buy and sell a hefty amount of
artwork. The main event is Frieze London, with Frieze Masters and
its more staid, genteel crowd in accompaniment. But beyond the
marquee fairs are a slate of heavyweight auctions, an array of
galleries opening grade-A shows, and an untold number of smaller
satellite events around the city… not to mention the high
likelihood of some new Banksy mischief.

For those consumed by the action and those who didn’t make it
across the pond—either because they were soaking in the JOMO or
because they had other obligations—below is a recap of everything
artnet News published related to another wild Frieze Week.

Aug 17, 2020
artnet

Kaleidoscopic landscapes and riotous bursts of flowers are the signatures of Brooklyn-based artist Shara Hughes—scenes she creates entirely from her imagination.
