Top 10 Stands at Frieze Masters 2018
Frieze Masters 2018 at Regent's Park in London has surpassed the contemporary Frieze fair in quality and market performance, according to Artribune. The contemporary edition is slightly improved but lacks excitement and engagement, while Masters exudes confidence. The article highlights ten standout booths: Hauser & Wirth and Moretti's collaboration juxtaposing contemporary and historical works; Sperone Westwater's solo presentation of Argentine artist Guillermo Kuitca from the 1990s; Dickinson's botanical garden-like display of Barbara Hepworth works; Pace's all-white booth featuring Sol LeWitt, Roman Opalka, Lee Ufan, Agnes Martin, and Robert Ryman; Kamel Mennour and Levy Gorvy's comprehensive François Morellet show; Galleria Continua's works by Ilya and Emilia Kabakov; Mazzoleni's tribute to Baj, Manzoni, and Fontana from 1958; Elvira Gonzales's booth with Donald Judd and Carl Andre; Giò Marconi's early Valerio Adami works from the 1960s; and Luxemburg & Dayan's miniMonumental installation with small pieces by Boetti, Fioroni, Scarpitta, Fontana, Rotella, Arienti, De Dominicis, and Schifano.
