Sunday, a Famous Art Fair

Life after Stonehenge included Tycho’s Saturday eve return and a prodigious downloading of photos while our intrepid host made it to the Sunday farmers’ market [no sardines, but calamari for later] then dropped us to explore the desultory sculpture exhibition outside Frieze on our own

    Agree on Toba Khedoori. Nice to see the Claes and the Japanese Mondrian. And the yellow and green fall leaves against the blue shadow building.

    Have you seen a Lancia lately?
