Past Battersea Power Station, Albert Bridge, Hyde Park and East to Green Park and into Pace Gallery. Stephen Friedman, David Zwirner, Thomas Dane and East towards The Barbican. Then East to Whitechapel Gallery and finally South over Tower Bridge.
Louise Nevelson at Pace London.
Robert Buck at Stephen Friedman. Yes, the painting is hung as shown.
Keith Sonnier of Pace at Whitechapel Gallery.
Maria Nepomuceno of Victoria Miro showing at Barbican.
Francis Alys at David Zwirner kicking a flaming football through the run-down streets of a Mexican town.
Imran Qureshi of Corvi Mora at Barbican Curve. Miniatures with enlarged marks on the gallery wall and floor.
Cecily Brown at Thomas Dane. This small piece looks great.
Invader pixilated image on Curtain Road.
Giacometti at Gagosian showing with Yves Klein.
Yoshimoto Nara at Stephen Friedman with new paintings in his smooth style.
Ettore Spalletti at Marian Goodman with paintings inspired by the Adriatic coast. The paintings are sculptural and here a white pencil acts as a pivot.
Georg Baselitz at Whitecube with new paintings of the artist and wife Elke . He revisits images he made in the 70’s and makes the passing of time part of the work.
How do you get a giant broken canvas through a small doorway? This striking large piece by Angela de la Cruz at Peer in Hoxton poses the question.
Hoxton artwork creates a figure.
Keith Coventry at Pace London turns the famous twin arches logo into art.
Piero Manzoni at Ibid . A single painting is placed in relation to a contemporary piece for a week.
A close up of Andreas Eriksson’s new work at Stephen Friedman. Still delicate, abstracted, Nordic landscape but now a new medium of just the linen alone, that he paints on.
Saw this animated figure in Carnaby Street. A quick google confirms it is indeed by Julian Opie of Lisson Gallery.
Early on the run looking for a place to cross the Westway.
Jeff Koons at Almine Rech.
At St Martins in the Fields, Trafalgar Square. Distorted window round the back by Shirazeh Houshiary of Lisson Gallery.
Chantal Joffe at Victoria Miro has a good show of portraits of the people in her life. Great stripes right across.
Josef Albers at Stephen Friedman in a revisit to Bauhaus.
Setven Claydon show at Sadie Coles called The Gilded Bough. The partial gold gilding of the sculptures places them (intentionally) between artefact and commodity. Circuitry, mechanisation and totems all add to a good installation.
Leake Street.
I followed the flow-lines through the 28 central galleries . This zig-zag section looks small compared to my complete jog of 47 Frieze participating galleries!
Elizabeth Peyton at Sadie Coles has a lovely touch in the drawings.
Bruce Nauman at Marian Goodman is fab!
Magdalena Kita at Bruce Haines Gallery. She has produced imagery on a variety of exotic skins including wild boar. Bruce Haines was happy to share a chat about the art.
Wayne Gonzales at Stephen Friedman. This cross hatching is a new technique in contrast to his silhouette type paintings of crowds.
Claire Barclay at Stephen Friedman. She juxtaposes her curve motifs in leather with strands and some delicate comb-like objects.
Paintings by Jean Baptiste Bernadet and sculptures by Benoit Plateus at Almine Rech. Simplicity is a theme.
Gallery Runner enjoyed a sit down and was invited to play a game at Herald Street at Golden Square. That’s my foot sticking out. Oliver Payne has converted a conference chair into something more fun.
Sunny today!
