Frieze New York 2018: Top 10 Booths and Hidden Gems

Frieze New York 2018 commenced amid an unprecedented heatwave in May, with soaring temperatures making the new tent arrangement uncomfortable, prompting some affluent collectors to delay their attendance. The nearby Tefaf New York could also be a factor in these cancellations. The overall ambiance was muted, reflecting the current global economic and political situation, and there were few remarkable booths. However, some notable exceptions included: CANADA (New York) featuring pieces by George Grosz; Blum & Poe (New York) showcasing Nobuo Sekine; Gagosian (New York, London, Los Angeles) presenting Robert Therrien's sculpture; Anton Kern (New York) with bronzes by Matthew Monahan; Casey Kaplan (New York) focusing on Vietnam War works; and Daniel Blau (Munich) exhibiting newly found Andy Warhol drawings.
