October is when the art world migrates north and west, and this year was no exception. Fresh from Frieze London and Art Basel Paris, Marie-Kathrin Krimphoff and Carolyn Stocker-Seiler from Bergos Art Consult share their impressions of two eventful weeks in the art world. They discuss the gallery shows that stayed with them, the fair discoveries that surprised them, and what the mood in the rooms, and the results in the salerooms, say about where collectors’ heads are right now.
