The House Of The Nobleman
Old Masters are hung in the company of some of the most notorious contemporary artists on the block in a show
opposite Frieze Art Fair
Text by John-Paul Pryor
For what is a man profited, if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Perhaps this is one question that
could be asked of any billionaire art collector. In The House of The Nobleman, artist Wolfe von Lenkiewicz
examines our relationship to art and the role of the supposedly worldly or noble collector from a nonjudgemental
critical distance, and exhibits art both old and new (from Manet and Cézanne to The Chapmans and
Damien Hirst) in a show that promises to prove contentious. Here, Lenkiewicz’s own “resequenced” Picassos will
be exhibited against their original counterparts, effectively folding art history in upon itself to create an entirely
new kind of dialogue. Dazed Digital went down to his studio to talk nobility, history and the reasons why a lost
battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.
Dazed Digital: What is the concept that informs The House Of The Nobleman?
Wolfe von Lenkiewicz: When I started to plan the exhibition with the co-curator Victoria Golembiovskaya (by
whom I was fascinated because she was instrumental in manoeuvring a submarine in the grand canal in Venice), I
began to think about the notion of quality in the 21st century as opposed to the set of values pursued by Marsilio
Ficino. The dislocation and decertification of a stable position in the world, which was formally the aristocrat, the
king… the noble man. The artist, being perceived at the centre, was seen as a God, and within Ptolemaic
concentric rings one moved from dog, to angel, to God. This is a hierarchical linear model, which has been
attractive for five centuries in one form or another. The idea of this show is to explore a post-humanist form of
compassion – the world is dynamically changing, and no matter how flexible our map may be to quantify it, we
will be in an eternal struggle with meaning.

The House of the Nobleman
Posted: 14 October 2010 by Sarah Greenberg, RA Magazine Editor
Most people selling a property try to make it seem welcoming by brewing coffee and - at a stretch – baking bread.
But in a world gone mad for property and art, the stakes have been raised. How about a house that's been
'staged' (as they say Stateside) with a built-in art collection, including an eclectic array of work from Picasso to
Grayson Perry, Rodin to Richter, Manet to, predictably, Murakami, the artist who famously emblazoned his
designs on Louis Vuitton bags.
Yes, the £29m budget is a bit steep, but it needn't put you of from booking a tour to see this renovated mansion
in Cornwall Terrace that has been curated by Victoria Golemblovskaya and artist Wolfe Von Lenkiewicz, with the
participation of the Saatchi Collection and Channel 4.
Exhibition open until 20 October, 11am – 6pm, by appointment only

The House of the Noble Man
15.10.2010
2 Cornwall Terrace, a magnificent 18th-century building off Regent’s Park and a stone’s throw from Frieze art fair,
will be the venue for this spectacular exhibition featuring Old Masters and famous names from contemporary art,
including Picasso, Manet, Cézanne, Damien Hirst, Banksy, Martin Kippenberger and Gerhard Richter. Work from
the Saatchi Gallery’s ‘New Sensations 2010 ‘ including jotta artist Joshua Bilton also on show.
The show imagines the house’s inhabitant as a hugely successful trader. Having used his mastery of technology
and the possibilities of the information age to amass vast wealth, he aspires to find a shaping narrative for the
etiolated form of his existence. Art is one of the avenues in his search.
He may live in a nobleman’s house, but he’s no blue blood. A tax exile, nomadic by habit, our collector spends his
days - and nights - bathed in the blue light of a computer screen, as he trades in dematerialized securities, or
prices options based on weather conditions on the other side of the globe: drowned cities viewed remotely via
CNN, or better, modelled via a computer simulation.
The roles of the nobleman and artist found a convergence in the figure of Don Quixote, a fool who aspired to the
chivalric codes he’d read about in antiquated texts. But this fantasy was a liberation; allowing him to contend with
base matter, infusing it with near-infinite possibilities, just as the empirical certainties of the Renaissance would
soon give way to the vertiginous perspectives of the new mathematics.
The exhibition updates the Don Quixote model to cast the collector/artist/nobleman as a man without qualities,
occupying the privileged space of the capitalist elite, looking down through a virtual window to plot the
constantly-changing vectors of matter, bodies and events as they hurtle by on the other side of the glass.

6m GBP worth of Picassos to go on show during Frieze 0

Four rare works by Picasso thought to be worth over £6m and an 1875 Cézanne oil on canvas will go on sale
during Frieze week next month in an ambitious exhibition to be held at a London property part owned by a
Russian billionaire. The show, entitled “The House of the Noble Man” (12-20 October), will open at 2 Cornwall
Terrace, an 18th-century building off Regent’s Park in London near to the Frieze Art Fair site. The exhibition is
curated by artist Wolfe von Lenkiewicz, whose works will feature in the display, and Russian curator Victoria
Golembiovskaya. Around £20m worth of art will be for sale, approximately a third of the show, confirms Von
Lenkiewicz.
According to the co-curator, the Picasso pieces on offer will include Buste d’Homme à la Pipe (1969, priced at
£3m); the 1905 drawing The Family of Saltimbanques and a cubist painting, Nature Morte au Gobelet (around
1914). An 1875 oil on canvas by Cézanne, Don Quixote, is priced at £1.25m. Works by Yves Klein, Egon Schiele,
Gerhard Richter, Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol will also be for sale. Von Lenkiewicz’s own works will be in the

Future art stars cause a New Sensation
Louise Jury, Chief Arts Correspondent
15.10.10
Twenty artists hailed as stars of the future are getting the chance to show their work alongside that of 60 masters,
from Picasso and Warhol to Manet, Rodin and Cézanne.
The 20 were chosen from hundreds of graduate students in the New Sensations Prize, a contest now in its fourth
year, organised by Charles Saatchi's gallery and Channel 4.
Their work is part of The House of the Nobleman, an exhibition of art borrowed from international collections
that is being staged in an 18th-century mansion in Cornwall Terrace, Regent's Park, a stone's throw from the
Frieze Art Fair.
Four of the graduates were selected to receive £1,000 bursaries to develop a project for inclusion. They are:
German Pablo Wendel, 30, whose degree work involved squatting in a derelict chip shop to which he built a
staircase, later dismantled by Royal College of Art staff in a health and safety row; Katie Surridge, 25, and Russian
Nika Neelova, 23, both Slade School graduates, and Ross M Brown, 24, who is still studying in Dundee. One of
them will be named this year's overall winner on Monday and the exhibition runs until Wednesday.
Rebecca Wilson, associate director of the Saatchi Gallery, said: “The 20 shortlisted artists have created a stunning
range of work, including
photography, painting, installation and sculpture. The exhibition offers a wonderful opportunity to discover the
bright stars of the future.”
More than half of the graduate artists are based in the capital. “London is still one of the best places to do a fine
art degree and has that reputation across the world, as well as being one of the most vibrant centres for
contemporary art,” Ms Wilson added.
New Sensations at the House of the Nobleman, 2 Cornwall Terrace, is open until Wednesday.

How art can make greed look fabulous
Olivia Cole
07.10.10
Literature's most sinister art connoisseur is probably Henry James's Gilbert Osmond, the collector of beautiful
objects to whom Isabel Archer shackles her fortunes in The Portrait of a Lady. She is at first dazzled by his advice
that “one ought to make one's life a work of art”, before realising that he has no imagination of his own, only
acquisitiveness: beauty by proxy. By that time, as his wife, she is part of his collection.
So how to spot a Gilbert Osmond today? You might imagine one lives in The House of the Nobleman, an
exhibition opening next week in a vast Edwardian pile on the borders of Regent's Park to coincide with the nearby
Frieze art fair.
Surveying the Ј20 million-worth of paintings, from Poussin to Warhol via Picasso, visitors are invited to believe
that they are in the house of an extravagantly committed collector. This imagined character is someone like
Randolph Hearst in Citizen Kane: a rich man with non-existent morals but exquisite taste. Like Dick Fuld, Lehman
Brothers' last CEO: earlier this month, it took Christie's days to sell off the bank's art collection.
Here there is no so such owner: this collection has been curated by two artists, Victoria Golembiovskaya and the
painter Wolfe von Lenkiewicz. The nobleman of their title is a modern-day Don Quixote, caught between fantasy
and reality. Von Lenkiewicz says City practices such as shorting have “no direct relationship to reality”. Their
modern-day nobleman hankers for meaning and order: beauty even. Hence the kind of people who fervently
collect in London. The compulsion to be known not only as loaded but cultured is often observed but rarely
examined. It's interesting that this show is staged by artists all of whom have a complex relationship with the kind
of people characterised by Vince Cable as merely “spivs and gamblers”. Wolfe refers to people who do
“unspeakable things” before reiterating that the show isn't a moral judgment.
Even so, their show tries to lift the veil on the activity at Frieze. As a centre for commercial art sustained still by
swilling disposable income, London eclipses Paris and New York. Frieze will be swarming with both people like me,
who go to look, and hundreds of the modern-day “noblemen” with their Black Amex cards. It's no small irony that
The House of the Nobleman naturally has its own massively wealthy backer, Russian property giant Mirax. Greed
might not be good but it sure can look fabulous.
And what about the savvier artists? Tracey Emin whines about arts cuts yet moans about her tax bill. Damien Hirst
has exploited the market in his own work as ruthlessly as any hedge-funder. Wolfe himself confidently discusses
algorithms and is a favourite of collectors such as Bono and Richard Devereux, co-founder of Virgin. London's
most successful artists aren't exactly in the gutter, looking at the stars.

£6m worth of Picassos to go on show during Frieze
The exhibition, to be held in a property co-owned by a Russian billionaire, also includes works by Warhol, Hirst,

Four rare works by Picasso thought to be worth over £6m and an 1875 Cézanne oil on canvas will go on sale
during Frieze week next month in an ambitious exhibition to be held at a London property part owned by a
Russian billionaire. The show, entitled "The House of the Noble Man" (12-20 October), will open at 2 Cornwall

curated by artist Wolfe von Lenkiewicz, whose works will feature in the display, and Russian curator Victoria

According to the co-curator, the Picasso pieces on offer will include Buste d'Homme à la Pipe (1969, priced at

Gerhard Richter, Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol will also be for sale. Von Lenkiewicz's own works will be in the
£30,000-£60,000 price range.
"The Picassos etc. are from anonymous dealers who will take their portion of the percentages. Any other
proceeds made during the show will go back into the funding of the exhibition which is hugely expensive despite
its sponsorship [by the Russian real estate company Mirax]," adds Von Lenkiewicz. A selection of works from
Charles Saatchi's "New Sensations 2010" roster of emerging artists will also be for sale. Twenty students
shortlisted for the prize, which is sponsored by Cadogan Tate, have been chosen to present their work; these
artists include Matthew Welch, Katie Sims and Pablo Wendel. A non-selling section will include works from the
London-based Zabludowicz Collection and the holdings of the Iraqi-born industrialist Ragdan El-akabi.
"The show came about when I was in Moscow exhibiting my work at Triumph Gallery. Victoria took me to the
Mirax city project, a huge development in central Moscow. She talked to Sergei Polonsky [head of Mirax] about
the Cornwall Terrace buildings which he has shares in. He was willing to sponsor the show," says Von Lenkiewicz.
The Mirax group are co-developers of the Cornwall Terrace historical complex, parts of which are up for sale.

Elsewhere in London: what’s on and what to see
Published: October 13 2010 01:20 | Last updated: October 13 2010 01:20
With the absence of Zoo, the Pavilion of Art & Design (PAD) (until October 17; www.padlondon.net) will this year
play second fiddle to Frieze. This sophisticated fair of modern and contemporary art, design, photography and
tribal art from 1860 was conceived by Patrick Perrin and Stéphane Custot and is now in its fourth year. PAD has
retained its place in Berkeley Square, a site that offers limited space expansion, but a sought-after Mayfair
address.
As auction houses all jostle to cash in on the festival spirit, Christie’s is launching an initiative entitled Multiplied
(October 15-18; www.multipliedartfair.com) at its South Kensington saleroom. The focus of this fair is
contemporary art editions – photographs, prints, artists’ books and 3D multiples – and there will be big names,
including John Baldessari, Mat Collishaw and Gerald Laing, on sale for small prices.
Another example of canny innovation – or outsiders crashing the party – is House of the Nobleman at 2 Cornwall
Terrace (October 15-20; www.cornwallterrace.co.uk/boswallhouse). This is a property viewing with a difference:
not only is the house itself on the market, but so is much of the art – including works by Pablo Picasso, Helen
Chadwick and Grayson Perry – that decorates its interior.
While the majority of Frieze Week events take place in grandiose settings in London’s West End, a couple of
contrasting fairs are capitalising on sites in the city’s East End. The Future Can Wait (until October 17;
www.thefuturecanwait.com), an alternative fair started by trusted talent-spotters Zavier Ellis and Simon Rumley,
returns to Shoreditch Town Hall for the fourth year running.

HERE COMES FRIEZE WEEK
Oct. 8, 2010
Here it comes. Next week, Oct. 14-17, 2010, is London’s time to shine like the diamond it is in the international
art-market sun, as Frieze Week bows in the British super-city. With dozens of events and most of the best
galleries making the trip, the whole thing is exhausting just to think about. Here, then, a quick-and-dirty summary
of some of the highlights. We’re sure we’ve missed a few, but this’ll do to start:
FRIEZE
Of course the centerpiece, as usual, is the Frieze Art Fair itself, going up in Regent’s Park. The selection is topnotch,
with some 173 exhibitors on board, including most of the top dealers you’d expect.
MORE, MORE, MORE
Much more is going on, including big events like the launch of Ai Weiwei’s Turbine Hall installation at Tate
Modern. We, however, prefer to focus on some of the freakier offerings.
Or what about the The Museum of Everything in Primrose Hill, which was "regarded as the most successful new
addition to the Frieze scene last year" (according to the Independent). For the third exhibition at the space,
opening Oct. 13, Pop art pioneer Peter Blake curates a show of "outsider" art and artifacts, including pieces by
Morton Bartlett, James Castle, Henry Darger and Martin Ramirez. During Frieze Week, contemporary art stars
like Bob & Roberta Smith, Polly Morgan and Jeremy Deller are scheduled for various tours and talks at the
Museum. Worth a swing by.
Then there is the mysterious House of the Noble Man, Oct. 12-20, at 2 Cornwall Terrace, an 18th-century building
off Regent’s Park, near Frieze. What exactly this show is remains unclear, but it is some kind of conceptual selling
exhibition, sponsored by the Russian billionaire who owns the property, and curated by artist Wolfe von
Lenkiewicz with Russian curator Victoria Golembiovskaya. Lenkiewicz, for his part, describes it as "a curatorial
concept playing with the idea of commerce, mirroring the [art] market with irony." The Art Newspaper reports
that some £20-million in art will be for sale, including works by Picasso and Cézanne, as well as a selection of
works from Charles Saatchi’s "New Sensations 2010" roster of emerging artists, and the holdings of the Iraqi-born
industrialist Ragdan El-akabi.

LONDON DISPATCH
by Laura K. Jones
Powerless against the magnetic force towing them in to the bowels of Regent’s Park, 60,000 visitors to the eighth
edition of the Frieze Art Fair were faced with a decision. What to buy from an array of works whose combined
price came to $365 million?
Would it be The True Artist Helps the World by Revealing Mystic Truths, a sprawling Damien Hirst cabinet
containing a school of pickled fish, priced at $5.6 million? The huge work turned out to be the star sale of the fair,
as was widely reported, when it was flogged immediately from the White Cube stand during the Frieze preview.
Apparently, the cynical press refers to the vernissage as "Billionaires Day," and indeed, attendees included Claudia
Schiffer, Charles Saatchi, Steve Cohen (a first timer to the fair) and Dasha Zhukova.
So powerful has Frieze become that commercial galleries, public spaces and auction houses now tie their activities
to it more than ever. Off-site auctions saw Phillips de Pury selling David Hockney’s Autumn Pool for $2 million and
Christie’s flogging Andreas Gursky’s photograph of the New York Stock Exchange for $700,000, almost three times
its estimate.
Harry Blain and Graham Southern, former directors of Haunch of Venison, inaugurated their new gallery,
BlainSouthern, with "Creation Condemned," a hypnotic and troubling show by Mat Collishaw of images of pole
dancers, frenzied burning butterflies and the great ravines that were left when the Taliban destroyed the Bamiyan
Buddhas. Fusing symbols of decadence and decay, Collishaw makes lithophanes -- in this case, images etched in
thin, translucent Corian, lit from behind with slowly pulsating lights. Blain and Southern afterwards invited the art
world to the Ivy Club until the early hours of the next morning.
Then, it was onwards and upwards to "The House of the Noble Man," a super-slick exhibition in an 18th-century
Cornwall Terrace townhouse near to the Frieze site (an address, according to the Art Newspaper, thought to be
being prepped for sale to former U.S. president Bill Clinton) that was co-curated by polymath artist Wolfe
Lenkiewicz and Victoria Golembiovskaya. The show felt like serious money, including as it did Andy Warhol works
I’d never even seen images of before, plus things by Poussin, Manet, Cézanne, Picasso, Hirst and Kippenberger.
Over its five floors, "Noble Man" also housed work from the Saatchi Gallery's "New Sensations 2010" exhibition of
graduating students. Stand-out pieces included So Over, a room full of animal hides by Kate Surridge, a sculpture
student at Slade School, and I Used to Think, an exceptional cautionary film about the bleeding-eyed X Factor
generation by a man called Lee Holden. Amazingly sinister, the slo-mo montage included images of Britney
Spears, a live lobotomy, a childlike Japanese robot and a woman suffering paranoid delusions, all to a haunting
soundtrack of modern music and computer sounds.

ARTINFO UK's Guide to Frieze Week 2010
By Coline Milliard, ARTINFO UK
Published: October 11, 2010
LONDON— Frieze Week is upon us! Europe's largest contemporary art fair has staked its tent in Regent’s Park,
bringing with it an estimated $375 million in work by brand-name artists and emerging talents alike, and London
is seething with exhibitions and events to welcome the collectors, tastemakers, and various art grandees
descending on the city. What to see? Where to go? ARTINFO UK has a few recommendations.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13 With still two days to go before Frieze Art Fair opens to the public, today is the perfect
day to indulge in a bit of London tourism, mixing in visits to the city's West End galleries. Stroll down Piccadilly
and stop at Thomas Dane Gallery, on Duke Street, for the Kelley Walker exhibition. On Heddon Street — a
continental oasis at the heart of Central London — Aicon Gallery has put together an excellent exhibition
retracing artist and thinker Rasheed Araeen’s first fifteen years of production, beginning in 1959. Two other good
shows on the same street are Paola Pivi at Carlson and Jimmie Durham at Sprovieri. You can also discover Sadie
Coles’ new space in New Burlington Place, inaugurated with an exhibition of Urs Fisher’s sculptures.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14 You’ve done Tate Britain, do you really need to go to Tate Modern? Of course you do.
First, the newly opened Gauguin exhibition is stunning and simply impossible to miss (it has been described by
the Times as "the show of the season — in fact of the whole year). Second, the new commission by Ai Weiwei,
was recently unveiled in Turbine Hall. You can then head north to enjoy Fergus Henderson’s English cuisine at St.
John Bar & Restaurant in Smithfield, before wandering to ROKEBY for their exhibition of German-born, Londonbased
artist Bettina Buck.
Today is also a good day to see "The House of the Noble Man," an exhibition curated by artist Wolfe von

Rare Picasso works worth over £6m to be sold in October auction alongside Hirst and Warhol
Four pieces by the Cubist painter go on sale next month and could see record prices
Regent's Park in London is set to be the home of four very special artworks by the world renowned Spanish artist
Pablo Picasso.
The works, believed to worth over £6m ($9.3m) will be exhibited as part of a show called "The House of the Noble
Man" which is running from October 12 to 20 at 2 Cornwall Terrace in Regents park, London.
The works will go on sale alongside an 1875 Cézanne oil on canvas work, during Frieze week.
According to the co-curator of the exhibit, the four Picasso works on offer will include a 1905 drawing entitled
"The Family of Saltimbanques", a 1914 Cubist painting titled "Nature Morte au Gobelet" and the 1969 piece
"Buste d'Hommeà la Pipe" which is currently price at £3m ($4.6).
In addition to this the exhibit will have works by Yves Klein, Gerhard Richter, Egon Schiele and the more familiar
names of Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst.
The Picasso works are believed to have come from anonymous dealers, whilst a selection of pieces has also come
from Charles Saatchi's "New Sensations 2010" roster of emerging artists.
However, for many collectors the undoubted focus of the event will be the four works by Picasso.
Picasso's work is arguably some of the most valued and collectible on the market due to his position as a pioneer
and co-creator of the artistic form of Cubism.
There works subverted the traditional notion of painting an object, instead breaking them up and re-assembling
them in a abstract work to create an ambiguous and thought provoking piece of art.

House of Noble Man
Oct 18, 2010 04:06:00 PM by Sarah Bailey
I love the extraordinary and intriguing exhibitions which one encounters around the edges of Frieze. 2009's The
Age of the Marvellous at One Marylebone (curated by AVA) was one such discovery - dark and theatrical - which
stayed with me all year...
This year's House of Noble Man (a collaboration between the Saatchi Gallery and Channel 4's New Sensations), is
another spectacular show of a very different flavour mounted in No. 2 Cornwall Terrace, a gleaming showcase of
super-prime real-estate. (I attended on the opening night and was treated to a tour of two other oligarch-ready
show mansions at No.6 and 11 Cornwall Terrace, by a dashing Knight Frank estate agent by the name of Darren
Daggers... Quite surreal, but, of course, an incredibly resonant statement about the current art market).
Back at No. 2 Cornwall Terrace, House of Noble Man curated by Victoria Golembiovskaya and artist-of-themoment
Wolfe Von Lenkiewicz mixes work from the giants of modern art - Cezanne and Picasso - with some
dazzling and provocative contemporary pieces plus, of course, Channel 4's New Sensations discoveries.
I loved the filigree Cement Truck sculpture by Wim Delvoye (the Belgian conceptual artist probably best-known
for his work in the 90s involving the tattooing of live pigs), Rachel Whiteread's dolls house chess set and New
Sensation Elizabeth Jordan's dream-like kinetic installation, which she is showing in an upper bedroom. Of course,
there's nothing like a Frieze party to lure out London's finest exhibitions and I was very pleased to meet showgoer
Philip Levine, who uses his bald pate (bejeweled on this occasion as though he is wearing a Swarovski swim cap)
as his canvas. His next show, he informs me, is being sponsored by Gilette...
House of Noble Man is on until
Wednesday October 20, so do try and
see it. Entry is free, but you have to
book an appointment.

Art in Residence: Redeveloped park terrace hosts exhibit
By Deirdre Hipwell
Sunday, 10 October 2010
Curators Victoria Golembiovskaya and Wolfe Von Lenkiewicz, in collaboration with the Saatchi Gallery and
Channel 4's New Sensations, will host an art exhibition starting next Sunday showcasing famous works by artists
such as Paul Cezanne and Pablo Picasso.
The House of the Nobleman exhibit, which coincides with the Frieze Art Fair, will be held at the mansion No 2
Cornwall Terrace in Regents Park and will include works from several international art collections. No 2 Cornwall
Terrace has been extensively redeveloped by developer Oakmayne Bespoke and is part of a much larger
redevelopment of Cornwall Terrace to create eight mansions. The houses are up for sale starting at £29m.

Frieze Art Fair 2010: Get ready for British art's biggest week
Frieze Art Fair is back – and it's bigger than ever, with 173 international galleries. Alice Jones looks forward to this
year's event and the week-long whirl of auctions, exhibitions and parties it brings to London
Friday, 8 October 2010
As always, the proof will be in the purchasing, but signs that confidence has returned to the market can already
be found in the buzz around the traditional run of Frieze week auctions. At Christie's, Hirst will be auctioned
alongside two works by Gerhard Richter (valued at up to £1m) and, hollow laugh, Andreas Gursky's
photomontage of the New York Stock Exchange, last seen hanging in the boardroom at Lehman Brothers
(estimate: £100,000 – £150,000). Sotheby's has Jerry Hall's extraordinary collection up for sale – including work by
Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud and Andy Warhol. And Phillips de Pury will hope to break the £1m mark with David
Hockney's Autumn Pool while Maurizio Cattelan's Una Domenica a Rivara, a rope of knotted bedsheets to hang
from a window, is estimated to sell at £400,000 to £600,000. Elsewhere, in a bold new addition to the landscape,
£20m-worth of art will go on sale in an 18th-century mansion part-owned by the Russian real-estate billionaire
Sergei Polonsky. The House of the Noble Man, a stone's throw from Frieze in Cornwall Terrace, is curated by
Victoria Golembiovskaya and the artist Wolfe von Lenkiewicz and will include four rare Picassos and Cezanne's
Don Quixote.
For all of these and more, the international arterati will descend on London next week, jetting in from the
traditional hot spots of New York, Berlin and Moscow, as well as from the emerging collector territories of the
Middle East, India and China for what is now known simply as Frieze week. It's no longer just about the fair; a
