This weekend thousands of New Yorkers made the trek to Randall’s Island for the first New York art fair from London’s Frieze, held in a striking $1.5 million tent designed by local architecture firm SO-IL. In addition to over 180 international galleries, the fair also included artist commissions (sponsored by Mulberry) and a full schedule of talks and panels. Check out the slideshow above for a small selection of highlights from the fair.
