Frieze
… it’s Fiona. The Frieze Art Fair is one of the two or three top
fairs and it's held annually both in London and in New York. Today many dealer
galleries make a significant part of their turnover from these fairs so
competition to be included is fierce. In addition to the usual booths, talks
and related exhibitions this year’s Frieze in New York also promises an outdoor
sculpture park featuring major works by artists like Franz West (Gagosian
Gallery), Paul McCarthy (Hauser & Wirth), Pae White (Andrew Kreps) and
Fiona Connor (Hopkinson Cundy). Tom Eccles, who was previously Director of the New York City Public Art
Fund, made the selection of 12 sculptors. Fiona Connor's
contribution will be following on from her exhibition in Auckland where she
installed a number of works in a field and duplicated them in the gallery.
We’ll post photos of what she's come up with when we visit the fair in a couple
of weeks.
