OTE Favorites from Frieze Week

OTE's staff picks for the most interesting, funny and beautiful art from Frieze Week:

JULIA LIBERMan

Senior Fine Art Appraiser

FRIEZE NEW YORK

Eddie Peake                                                                                   Paola Pivi                                               
Galleria Lorcan O'Neill, Rome                                                        It’s not fair, 2013, Urethane foam, plastic, feathers
                                                                                                      Galerie Perrotin, New York

"Art fairs often evoke common themes (perhaps a trendy period in an artist’s career or a popular motif), but only at Frieze will one identify a pattern of blue bears. Contemporary international artists Eddie Peake and Paola Pivi have realized two unrelated versions on view at this year’s fair."
