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.

In the past week, I went to seven art fairs, seven open bar parties, seventeen galleries, and read seven hundred articles on the money flowing through NYC during the fairs.

Since its inception in 2003, Frieze Art Fair has set itself apart as the premier fair for contemporary art through its carefully selected roster of galleries and its Frieze Projects commissions.

Hew Locke, a Briton of Guyanese descent, created his own coat of arms from exotic imagery, mimicking the cultural adaptation of colonized peoples and the fungibility of culture and identity.
