Frieze London 2022- I thankfully avoided Wednesday at Frieze London apparently totally mobbed 30 min wait to get in – couldn’t see the art, couldn’t get a meal, queues for everything – I went Thursday lovely, calm, and plenty of time to look, to chat, to eat, maybe Thursday is the new Wednesday?
It gave me time to read Jonathan Jones’s review in The Guardian. What’s his problem? Yes, there were lots of paintings at Frieze London but compared to any graduate show in London there were surprisingly lots of artworks that weren’t paintings maybe he was pushed for time, maybe he’d pre-written his article or maybe the crowds annoyed him – anyway below nine beautiful & v cool artworks none of them paintings.
