I went to London for the Frieze art fair. A tremendous show where loads of art galleries set up booths to show the work of their artists--both to anyone who loves art enough to slap down thirty-five pounds for a ticket, and to collectors with gobs of cash who are seriously shopping. All of which is to say that the people watching is almost as good as the art watching. But I took photos of the art, not the people. So many photos, in fact, of so much great art, that I'm going to have to break it across a few different blog posts. Today I'll share the thing that struck me most there--which happens to be the thing that strikes me most almost anywhere I go to look at modern or contemporary art: abstract painting. Let's go!
