Frieze Masters

Frieze itself was mobbed at opening time, so I was only too happy to walk through the park to Frieze Masters, not so crowded and a bit more thoughtful.

I always like Sam Fogg’s stand, surprised that such great works of medieval art are nearly affordable.   This a twelfth century French head of a Christ Child.   Only £10,000:-

And I like the group of galleries curated by Sir Norman Rosenthal, including a Swiss gallery, Sycomore, which is showing a rare group of Egyptian wooden sculpture:-
