Fair Play: Artist-Led London Fair Promises Merit-Based Selection
Fair Play, a new artist-led art fair, will launch during Frieze Week in London in mid-October. It selects 70 artists through an open call based solely on merit. Madonna toured her London art collection for Vogue, discussing Frida Kahlo and showing penis sculptures by Anderson Asteclines. The Fence published an investigation into Stuart Semple, detailing alleged lies and dodgy dealings. National Gallery conservator Jill Dunkerton cleaned Jan van Eyck's 1433 possible self-portrait, shown in an animation. The @artbutmakeitsports Instagram account, founded by L.J. Rader, pairs sports moments with art-historical references.
