In order to keep up with the contemporary art scene, I subscribe to the Artsy website.  Recently, they posted an editorial on the upcoming Frieze London Art Fair (10/14-10/17).  The show is a consortium of 164 galleries representing 1000 artists from 30 countries. I was panning through the site today and came upon these Rampas (carpet collages) by Nevin Aladag, that will be showcased by the German Wentrup gallery. They … Read More
