Homage to Fantin Latour

Frieze, NYC

Over the weekend, I visited the Frieze Art Fair in New York on Randall's Island. The ferry ride and the venue were fabulous and the view of New York from Randall's Island was new to me all together.  Hats off to whoever conceived of the idea to have an art fair there. There were a few select booths that brought top drawer work (Anish Kapoor at Lisson Gallery and Damien Hirst at White Cube being two) but this Cranky Gallery Girl was fairly cranky about most of the artwork.  The trend in "recycled" materials is not exactly my cup of tea.  No need to belabor the point.  On a positive note, the food stands were fabulous!
