Frieze London 2015

The preview day of Frieze always provides plenty of visual stimulation – both on and off the exhibiting gallery walls. As we shimmied past the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hooper, Tommy Hilfiger and Valentino we made our way around the fair to see what was on offer this year.

 Most of of the big name international names were in attendance, amongst a grand total of 164 galleries that represented over 1000 artists from 27 countries. There actually seemed to be a lack of big name artist ‘blockbuster’ pieces at this years fair but there was still plenty to catch the eye in an event that is one of the annual highlights of the art world.

Glenn Brown was our undisputed favourite this year with a stand full of great pieces at Gagosian, including these examples of both oil and sculpture.

The young sensation Eddie Peake had two stunning works on show.

There were two superb Michael Fullerton portraits showing at the Carl Freedman Gallery.

The underrated Billy Childish had a large scale work, also at Carl Freedman.

A colourful large scale Allen Jones was a great example of his work.

Ai Weiwei has been dying his roots.

Self Portrait in bath by Tracey Emin underwhelmed us, but here are some others that drew our attention:
