Frieze: 20 I’d buy

This post isn’t about the names, the hype or the hottest trends in art. It’s not about the installations designed with social media in mind.

This is about my personal taste as a collector, and which 10 works I’d buy at each tent if money and wall space were unlimited. I could sit and stare at these all day long.

Images shown in the order in which I saw them.

Details per booth display text.
