“If Tate Modern, with its new Carsten Höller helter-skelters, has been accused of resembling an old-fashioned fairground, it has nothing on Frieze art fair. In the vast, chaotic encampment that has suddenly sprung up in Regent’s Park you wouldn’t be too surprised to encounter a coconut shy and a bearded lady… Frieze represents the moment in London’s calendar when commerce and art become most nakedly and shamelessly entwined. Four hundred and seventy galleries from Europe, the US, Russia, Japan, Lebanon and Eygpt have competed for the chance to have a pitch at this, the fourth Frieze art fair. Only 152 have been accepted.”
