THE BIG FRIEZE

Last week was arguably the most important week of the year in the art world, with a number of major art fairs taking place in London.

’Frieze Art Fair’, the biggest art event of the year, opened it’s doors last Thursday at London’s Regent’s Park where artwork by some of the most collected artists have been brought together under one roof by major galleries from all over the world.

Eyestorm artists with work at Frieze include

Damien Hirst

Jeff Koons

Marc Quinn

Peter Blake

James Welling

Hamish Fulton

We have available signed, limited edition works by all of these artists at a fraction of the price of the originals you would have seen at the fair, so bearing the current financial climate in mind, what are you waiting for?

Two other art fairs on in the capital last weekend were Zoo and Scope London, which are both geared towards more emerging contemporary art. Zoo, held at the Royal Academy and now in its fifth year, showcases arts organisations that are under six years old, and Scope London, being held at Lords Cricket Ground, is part of a group of Scope Art Fairs which also take place in Miami, New York, Basel, and East Hampton, NY.

Eyestorm artists who appeared at Scope London included

Andrew McAttee

Robert Davies

Frank Kiely: Art that should be in a computer game?

Keith Stuart from The Guardian recently reported in his ‘Games Blog’ online, that the artwork of Frank Kiely should be featured in a computer game. Reviewing Kiely’s work as “art that gets people to really look at and appraise where they live, and there’s definite potential for a GPS/location-based game, based around encouraging players to explore and re-assess their surroundings”. Stuart believes it would look great on an Xbox, PSN or DS.

Who knows? Maybe Kiely’s work will be on a computer game screen near you soon!

Why Blog?
Eyestorm has been the market leader for limited edition prints since the web was in its infancy, so over time we've become pretty opinionated on a bunch of art-related issues. So while we're here to provide you with the best art you can buy, we also wanted a flexible space through which to share our experience of working in the frenetic, ever-accelerating market for contemporary art. So this is it. The Eyestorm blog. Ups, downs, news, views and reviews.
