Located at Randall's Island Park. Frieze takes place under a giant white tent that seems to span miles. A blue-chip collector's paradise, Frieze New York had a lot of big names. One of our favorites was Math Bass at Overduin & Co.
More of Math Bass at Overduin & Co., a Frieze top pick. We both love Bass' work, but this booth was one of the best in the whole fair.

Ida Ekblad (paintings) and Nicole Wermers (sculpture) at London dealer Herald St also stood out for us at Frieze. Photo via artcrawl.tv.
