Though signs of affection weren’t being traded nearly as freely as the art during Frieze Week, we’ve nonetheless emerged from the marathon of fairs with one Art World Missed Connection spanning both the giant Frieze New York tent and NADA New York, plus another item from the ever-reliable Metropolitan Museum. Let’s begin on Randall’s Island, where a NADA gallerist had his first encounter with a gent who later visited his booth, if you know what we mean — actually, he just visited his booth. (more…)

Yesterday Cutlog New York, the French fair’s first States-side outing announced that Russian street artist Timofey Radya had been awarded the first Cutlog NY Artist Prize for his sculpture “Figure #1: Stability” (pictured, presented by France’s The July 16), a huge pyramid made of police riot shields that he erected in the courtyard of the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural Center. The fair, which remains open through 6pm on Monday, also gave awards to exhibitors Creative Growth and TURF, and bestowed an honorary prize on Spinello Projects. (more…)

Amid the ongoing protests by New York city labor unions over Frieze New York’s use of non-union workers (protesters from local unions showed up for the second day in a row not far from the white tent), a representative from activist group Arts & Labor was allotted time to make a brief statement ahead of a scheduled panel discussion at the fair. Before artist Suzanne Lacey and Creative Time curator Nato Thompson delved into a fascinating discussion about socially engaged practice, Blithe Riley took the podium to read a statement noting the her organization had joined forces with the local Teamsters union to “speak out against inequitable hiring practices.” (more…)

One of the most-buzzed-about attractions at this year’s Frieze New York fair is a key to a secret speakeasy bar, designed by artist Liz Glynn. One hundred lucky visitors — chosen at random — get access to the hidden watering hole, along with the option of bringing a guest. But don’t tell that to John Waters. (more…)

With its themes of nostalgia and wish fulfillment, the new Frieze Week fair Wish Meme has plenty of pop culture-quoting artworks, but none are quite so curious as the series of small felt marker drawings by one Yung Lenox included in artist-curator Myla DalBesio’s classroom exhibition “Magic Kingdom.” “I first heard about Yung from Hennessy Youngman,” DalBesio told ARTINFO during Wednesday’s Wish Meme preview, referring to the artist and rapper Jayson Musson’s YouTube art critic alter ego. “Jayson started posting his drawings online, and I got in touch with his father on Twitter.” (more…)

Yesterday, Verge Art Fair announced that they would not follow through on their plans to be a Frieze satellite this year. The fair’s site said it would return in 2014, but emerging allegations of financial mismanagement are bringing the fair, and its founder Michael Workman, under some rather serious scrutiny. According to Marina Reiter, an artist and the director of Brooklyn’s Studio 26 gallery, she had already paid approximately $7,000 in deposits when she received an email letting her know that the fair was cancelled.

“I like museums. They communicate with the past,” says a surprisingly composed adolescent girl in an empty white room at Frieze New York. “What a beautiful idea, communicating with the past,” she adds, as her gaze moves about the room, making steady eye contact with a particular crowd member before moving on to the next. She is one of a rotating cast (I counted at least four) who make up artist Tino Sehgal’s much anticipated performance piece “Ann Lee,” presented at the fair by first-time exhibitor Marian Goodman Gallery.
