I'm looking forward to fellowshipping with fellow art enthusiasts and seeing ambitious work from galleries around the world. I'm especially excited for the Collector X Dinner, which always brings together some of the most thoughtful voices in the art and business community.
When you enter the venue—be it a tent, airport hangar or convention centre—there is the feeling of anticipation and excitement of what you will see that is new, thought-provoking and unexpected. It's an experience for the senses. I'm looking forward to this year's Frieze and new discoveries!
SALEM - The final exhibition to fill the main gallery at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art this year is a delightfully eclectic collection of postwar African American art that is every bit as interesting as the story of how it came together is inspiring.
Then in her mid-30s and ascending the corporate ladder at Estée Lauder, where she forged a stellar career as a product innovator and marketing mastermind, she had acquired a site in the historic centre of Telluride, the Colorado ski resort. Pawson had not yet designed a private residence in the US. But she took him to dinner, and in time-honoured tradition, he sketched out an idea on the paper tablecloth, along with a calculation of what it would cost. The result was a much-published stone-and-timber structure, for which he designed all the furniture too.
"I felt like I had achieved everything I wanted to in a commercial gallery. At a point you begin thinking independently from the structure, and want to find a model that best corresponds to you."
