‘Visitors were entranced.. crammed with pitch-perfect period details’ New York Times

A nostalgic space at Freize Masters that is the highlight of this week’s London Art. Two televisions play, the bed unmade, as Burri’s Combustion hangs on the wall above it. The Slashes of the Fontana stacked next to each other almost like magazines glimpsed between the legs of the elongated Giacometti figures. Cultural references everywhere that reconstruct the environment and breath in every single detail. A Hosanna to the Preachers of death of the White Cube. vogue italia

They’ve done it again. Helly Nahmad have presented an outstanding installation.  In visits to asylums in France and Switzerland he saw art that existed outside mainstream culture. ‘The Asylum’ at the Helly Nahmad stall is visually intriguing and awe-inspiring, filled with scribbling and scrawling marks.
