Just a very few highlights from a marathon day at

Just a very few highlights from a marathon day at Frieze and Frieze masters. Despite the global softening in the market dealers reported good sales on the opening day and positive feedback to the more open layout. The two fairs combine a staggering array of works spanning millennium and cultures – I have to say Frieze Masters gets my vote over its contemporary sister Frieze and I find the prices for relatively untested modern artists simply staggering when a Greco -Roman mummy portrait from Egypt, capturing an extraordinary period when the Classical and Egyptian world collided (which has recently come to alight after being mistaken by its owner for a 17th century portrait) is a mere £4milliion!

Illustrated here are just a few very personal favourites. Portrait of a Woman with Pearl Earings circa 96 to 117 AD, A Medieval Spanish St Christopher , a Rajasthan Kota painting showing a wonderfully glamorous group of Gopis (cowmaids) gathering to worship Krisna, Vicomte de Pons in full livery Reviewing his delightful toy solder troops Picasso’s Portrait of Jacqueline en Chapeau, Vuillard’s `Jardin au Public. From Frieze itself one of my favourite artists Rose Wylie’s wonderful Ballet Backdrop, Tracy Emmen’s stunning line drawings, Rocky Billy Childish painting in situ and why not 125 bouncing helium penguins which get more agitated the more people pass by.

Frieze continues till Sunday @friezeofficial #frieze #penguins#egypt #londonfair #artmarket

Intimate Immensity staring Benji Lowsley Williams

Intimate Immensity staring Benji Lowsley Williams and Victoria Orr Ewing opened last night in Sidney Mews SW11 and runs till 18 October. Benji’s sculpture and Victoria’s paintings are a wonderful pairing. Interesting to see Benji’s work in an interior and while they definitely hold the space - Victoria’s sensual atmospheric beautifully crafted paintings are a perfect backdrop drop both in theme and palette. This is a really fabulous show both artist contributing works on a small and large scale to suit all pockets. @benjlw @victoria.oe

The annual PAD fair @padesignart in Berkeley Squa

The annual PAD fair @padesignart in Berkeley Square is always a fabulous display of 20th Century and contemporary design. An amazing source of inspiration here are a few favourites - dazzling Miro tapestries, a cartoon by Peynet for a mosaic commission, really unusual roundel by Giacometti designed for a Parisian Interior and furniture by Kanashki the founder of the American arts and crafts movement. PAD continues till 11 October.
