(Things we're doing and stuff we like)
Yesterday I visited The Gagosian where they are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Richard Hamilton’s visionary definition of Pop Art with their new exhibition Pop Art Is. The exhibition comprises a number of different artists who have contributed to the development and dissemination of Pop over the last fifty years. These artists past and present including Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst create an eclectic experience and one that helps you to understand how Pop Art arose and how is it still a major force in contemporary art today.
In advance of the Rugby final tomorrow (England v South Africa) a new statue has appeared of Johnny Wilkinson in Trafalgar Square. Anticipation mounts as opera singers decended to the Eurostar terminal this morning singing ‘Sweet chariot’ to departing fans.
Design Art London which took place in a marquee in Hanover Square marks the capitals first fair in Design/Art – with the same galleries who are in both Basel and Miami. We loved the Paris Galerie du Passage with designers Jean Michel Frank and Jean Royere.
The Frieze Art Fair opened this week in Regents Park and is now five years old. There are 151 galleries from 28 countries representing more than 1,000 artists. One of our favourites was Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, where a gallery artist Rob Pruitt is running a flea market and you had to fight your way into the space where you could pick up bargains.
