I spent yesterday at Frieze Masters with the vetting committee for Sculpture and Works of Art. It was a pleasure looking closely at objects with a group of museum experts, starting with Sam Fogg’s medieval gallery, including a fine Spanish 11th. Century capital:-
A marble relief of Augustus thought to be by Mino da Fiesole:-
And a wonderful Nottingham alabaster:-
Hauser and Wirth have got a stand reconstructing the tastes and artistic interests of Stephen Spender, including drawings of him by Henry Moore and Hockney, and very beautiful works by Frank Auerbach:-
Georg Laue has a beautiful late medieval Crucifixion:-
And a remarkable late seventeenth-century ivory relief:-
Finally (at least, for today), a German seventeenth-century Crucifixion:-
