Even More Art From Frieze (some NSFW)

Robert Boyd


Adriana Lara, Os verdadeiros artistas estão nas ruas, 2012, inkjet on canvas, 20 x 40 cm at Air de Paris

Os verdadeiros artistas estão nas ruas. "The real artists are in the streets." In other words, what the hell are you dong here at Frieze? Well, despite the fashionable people and luxurious surroundings, there was a lot of art to see. I've written about some of it. Here's some more, mostly presented without comment.


Eddie Peake at Lorcan O'Neill

Not sure what this one is called, but I imagined buying it to hang in the lobby of The Great God Pan Is Dead Enterprises.


Eddie Peake, Tangling in Hair, 2013, two black and whire posters and three oil on wood paintings, 42 x 95 x 1 inch at White Cube

Eddie Peake had strikingly different work at different galleries.


Agnieszka Kurant, Archive of Phantom Islands, 2011, pigment print on archival paper, polyptych of 30, 36.5 x 28 cm at Galeria Fortes Vilaça


Agnieszka Kurant, Archive of Phantom Islands (detail), 2011, pigment print on archival paper, polyptych of 30, 36.5 x 28 cm at Galeria Fortes Vilaça

Agnieszka Kurant's Archive of Phantom Islands is the kind of art that appeals to nerdy fans of Ian Hamilton Finlay and Jorge Luis Borges (like me).


Alex Schweder at Jack Hanley


Alice Channer, various pieces, 2013, cast, pigmented polyurethane resin at The Approach


Alicja Kwade, heavy weight of light, 2012, wood, bronze, copper, brass, stailess steel, mirror, MDF, approximately 118 x 240 x 80 inches


Carsten Höller at Massimo de Carlo


Cornelia Parker, Endless Sugar, 2011, 30 pieces of silver plate flattenned by a 250 ton industria; press, 165.4 x 9.8 inches


David Shrigley at Anton Kern


Djordje Ozbolt, Les Objects Mystique Plastique, 2013, dyed polyester resin, 85 x 50.3 7.8 inches at Herald St.


Elmgreen & Dragset, I Will Never See You Again, 2009, mixed media

I Will Never See You Again by Elmgreen and Dragset: art for ex-lovers. My friend DC is caught in the reflection.


Ernesto Neto, Splasmiopylea, 2003, polyamide textile, stryofoam beads, wooden pegs, 120 x 217 x 3 inches at Tanya Bonaker Gallery

One of my favorites.


Gimhongsok, Material, 2012, cast resin at Kukje Gallery


Joseph Grigely, That's What We Live For, 2007, crystal urethane, 36 1/2x 32 x 33


Jenny Holzer, Heap, 2012, array of 7 LED signs with stainless steel housing: 3 with blue & red diodes on front, amber and blue diodes on back, 104.8 x 95 x 95 inches


Jenny Scobel, Mr. Wilson's Wife, 2013, oil, pencil, watercolor on vellum, 121.9 x 81.3 cm, at Zeno X Gallery


Jenny Scobel, untitled, 2013, mixed media on vellum, 109.5 x 83 cm, at Zeno X Gallery

These two portraits by Jenny Scobel are powerfully sexy; there is something strange and attractive about the nearly identical deadpan expressions on her face.


Jeremy Diller, A Range Rover crushed and made into a bench, 2012, Silkscreen print on paper, dimensions variable


Jon Pestoni, Hostages, 2013, oil on canvas, 103 x 78 x 2 inches at David Kordansky Gallery


KAWS, NTY, 2012, acrylic on canvas, 60 inch diameter


Kendell Geers, Bladerunner XIV, 2012, mild steel and razormesh, 120 x 51 x 51 cm

"Oh look, dear. This Kendell Geers would be perfect for the nursery!"


Liam Gillick, ...And Upheaval, 2012, powder coated aluminum, 74.8 x 98.4 x3.9 inches


Lily Van Der Stokker at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects


Lynda Benglis, Eat Meat, 1969/75, aluminum, 24 x 80 x 50 inches at Cheim & Read

The fact that I accidentally juxtaposed those two very shapely legs with Lynda Benglis's sculpture Eat Meat has absolutely no psychological subtext, so get that thought out of your dirty mind.


Mathieu Mercir, untitled, 2012, acrylic on canvas, 55 inches diameter at Mehdi Chouakri


Matthieu Mercier, untitled, 2011-2012, steel structure, 2 cylinders of carpet, 77 x 200 x 77 cm at Mehdi Chouakri

Rodney Graham, Sunday Sun (detail), 1937, 2012, transparency in lightbox, 34.6 x 34.6 x 7 inches

For a fan of old comic strips like me, Rodney Graham's Sunday Sun was a wonderful photo.


Roman Signer, Stühle mit Raketen, wooden chairs, copper, fireworks at Galerie Martin Janda


Ryan McGinley, India (Frost), 2013, c-print, 72 x 108 inches at Team Gallery


Sam Falls at T293


Sam Falls at T293

I love these colorful geometric sculptures by Sam Falls, but what really makes them great are the painted angle braces.

I think Sue Williams's Deflate was my favorite piece in the whole show.
