It sits upon a forklift and can be raised in [...]
The Frieze Art Fair had booths of over 170 galleries in the tents at Regent’s Park this year. While there is no way to cover everything I saw (much of it began to blur together with all of the other terrific shows going on), I have included images of highlights for me. The Anish Kapoor [...]
