Karen Archey is covering Frieze London art fair via Instagram today.
And at Greg.org: “In honor of Frieze London, and all the awesome sales going down this week, I have created a special edition. Untitled (Tanya) is a black & white lasercopy printed on 11 x 8.5 in. paper. It is titled, dated, stamped, and numbered in an edition of 50. Untitled (Tanya) depicts at actual size Tanya, the photocopy work of Cady Noland, which is being sold at Christie’s contemporary day sale Thursday Friday morning. Purely for reference, the dimensions of that work (7 5/8 x 6 1/8 in.) are marked in pencil.” Only ten bucks! But sadly sold out. I hope he saved one for me.
