The Women's Room review of: Frieze (part one)

Possibly our favourite Frieze artwork, the floating squirrel  (he was kept in the air by magnets, very clever), The works is called The Universe is Immobile, by Agnieszka Kurant

Smart art fair Frieze opened in London this week and we popped along to check out what was hot. For us, it was the cakes and the bags (more on this in a later post), oh and we saw some good art (but not much).

The interest in art is clearly not dropping off, as the place was heaving with people and there were big queues to get in, we're not sure if anyone was buying stuff, but there were a lot of quite well dressed people looking thoughtful in front of canvasses. And we stalked Charles Saatchi for a while just to see what he was up to, not much, as it turned out.

Here are some of the pictures we would buy if we had a spare million (or two, in the case of Peter Doig).

I know, I loved the petrol station too, very Hopper-ish. To be honest the art was a wee bit disappointing, some lovely stuff, but a lot of very weird and odd stuff too. Ax

But i wonder--simply because i wasn't around for her life and have never studied her impact on american culture in a larger sense--if this is how marilyn herself was viewed by her peers back in the day... and if it was only the surgical hand of dr. time, m.d., that glossed over her life and put her in the context we find her in today.

I love the clock, that show all the defects of one normal human day, in the only and useless thing we think, and tell me something, that squirrel in the air, is a stuffed animal, right?
