Frieze Masters 2012 - a brief look at highlights
So I've just been round the very first Frieze Masters fair in London, and I am glad to say it was a very worthwhile visit. The fair is a manageable size, easy to navigate, and for the most part dealers have really pulled out the stops to show rare, unusual and top quality pieces. Some galleries have gone the extra mile to borrow works from important collections, so there is a strong feeling that visitors are really being given an opportunity to see great things. For collectors, there are many things that I would want to buy!
Beyond the portrait - the art of Nigel Grimmer
'Silke, Brixton' 2009
Recommended - Henry Moore at Gagosian Britannia St
Sotheby's Impressionist & Modern Evening Sale - an overview
A recent sale - early Marcel Duchamp
I thought I’d start to post details of works that I have sold recently. There’s quite a difference in terms of age and subject matter, but I like selling from different periods. Keeps it stimulating for me as an advisor, and I hope my clients find it interesting to come across a broad range of works available on the market.
My Review of Frieze New York
Not sure that I really had a good time at Frieze New York. Just got back, and I have been going over my visit to the fair since I left Randall’s Island. I had really wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt, but I think overall I was… bored?
Video interview with Ann-Marie James
As part of a new series, I will be interviewing artists and finding out more about their practise, in what I hope will be an interesting series.
The view on Art Brussels and the London Original Print Fair
A quick recap on Art Brussels and the London Original Print Fair. I seem to have had similar feedback from both fairs, in that this year there were noticeably fewer visitors, and sales were slow or took a long time in coming.
London Original Print Fair
From April 19th - 22nd, I will be running the Richard Saltoun stand at the London Original Print Fair at the Royal Academy. (Richard will be doing Art Brussels, so I am helping another sole trader and getting out of the office!)
