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

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

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

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

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