It’s not news that 2016 was a turbulent year, but it was also a very creative year, so we asked the FAD team to pick some of their brightest art moments of 2016. Over the next four posts we bring you their answers; some are short, some are long but all are interesting, and in a very FAD way…

Neo Rauch Rondo Installation View
Three very interesting artists I’ve liked abroad had their first – impressive – London solo shows:
11 Levi van Veluw (at Rosenfeld Porcini) rosenfeldporcini.com
12 Donna Huanca (at the Zabludowicz Collection) www.zabludowiczcollection.com
13 and, a little surprisingly considering his fame, Neo Rauch (at David Zwirner). www.davidzwirner.com
14 Touching on the less favourable aspects of the year, I enjoyed curating the pro-EU spirit of Secret European Studio (at ARTHOUSE1). www.arthouse1.co.uk
