Finally Frieze

We hosted a lunch at home for Frieze, I had just enough time to hang our Ulrike Rosenbach pride of place

Then we had Afternoon Tea at the gallery for Shana Moulton, Puck Verkade and Rebecca Allen. Here is Paul Luckraft with Rebecca

I had time to visit 180 The Strand. The show was languidly curated with some hits and misses. It marks three years since Donna Huanca’s annual commission show at Zabludowicz Collection

Her work is as strong and poignant as ever

We walked through the labyrinth of corridors and finally came across a new work by Korakrit Arunanondchai, covered in paint and on an alternative spiritual path

His creatures surrounded us as we viewed the beautiful rituals of bathing in the waters of Asia

Then to The Connaught Hotel for a special dinner all around one very long table. Hosted by Hauser & Wirth for Mark Bradford’s exemplary show, here he is giving a heartfelt speech. What a memorable evening!

The next morning we held a very special breakfast at the lovely home of Marsha Lee. With David Gryn at the helm, Daata TV has launched 24 video artworks in your home at the press of a button

During the art fair the weather was, for the first time in a long time, good. First stop was Carlos/Ishikawa and a wonderful painting by Issy Wood on luscious black velvet

At Galerie Emanuel Layr there was a wonderful piece by Lena Henke

Simphiwe Ndzube, who we saw in Lyon, was showing at Stevenson gallery

The one that got away, Firelei Báez

We acquired for the Collection a work by the artist Megan Rooney, who also showed in Lyon

A great performance by Shezad Dawood, with dancers moving to space jazz

Meanwhile at Frieze Masters, Hyundai Gallery were showing Nam June Paik’s ‘My Faust-Communication’, 1989-1991

At 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair the work that stood out was this sculpture by Willie Cole
