For anyone who is in London for Frieze week or anyone looking for something to do this weekend, I strongly recommend a visit to the exhibition of the work of Christo which Gagosian have installed in 4, Princelet Street in the heart of Spitalfields – originally 2, Princes Street, built by Samuel Worrall and leased to a glover for £756 pa in 1724. It is not just that smaller work by Christo looks very good in the space, but the space itself is remarkable in being completely unrestored.
I will start with works by Christo showing the nature of the relationship established between the work and its surroundings.
