The Frieze Art Fair, London, Oct 2011

By Durva Gandhi

The Frieze Art Fair is the ultimate art fair for the art fraternity the world over. The VIP invite at the fair allows you access to the most important museums and private views at important institutions and exhibits. from several opening parties prior to the fair opening and unveiling of several important works and exhibits of artists from around the world, this makes for one of the most coveted art events on the art enthusiasts calendar.  The VIP diary includes exciting
programme of events organised by Londons museums and galleries during the fair. Other privileges include exclusive professional entry to the fair everyday, use of dedicated concierge service, private club membership and a London guide with recommended restaurants and local travel information.

From private breakfast views and champagne brunches - Grayson Perry @ the British Museum, to Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist @ Hayward Gallery, to the Post Modernism @ V&A to Mexican artist Anri Sala @ the Serpentine Gallery pavilion to the talk on collecting with Turkish collectors as well as The Shape of Things to be @ the Saatchi Gallery London, the art scenen London this week had a buzz!

Dinner at Bambau one night and a French film at the film festival are worth a mention. A trip up the London Eye one evening to get a view of the lit city from the top was worth a mention. The locational advantage of my hotel The Marble Thistle Arch on Oxford Street for the week, was central enough for shopping and other activities. And shop i did, untill i dropped!!!
