Frieze Week has begun. All those hours in the gym have prepared you for the barrage of art fairs and gallery visits that you are obligated to attend because art is what you love.
Why not ease it in with a leisurely walk around Frieze Sculpture?
Dotted around the bottom right corner of Regent’s Parks are 14 sculptures curated by Fatoş Üstek – greatly reduced from last year’s 22-piece selection – from a giant dog made from trees, wood, thatch, and branches to the sounds of extinct birds.
Here are my favourites:
Grace Schwindt, When I Remember Through You, 2025 (Galerie Peter Kilchmann, stop 1)
Elmgreen & Dragset, Life Rings, Fig. 3, 2023 (Pace Gallery, stop 2)
