"The mighty Frieze tent rapidly filled with collectors, advisers, curators and celebrities who had lined up to get into the aisles first thing on Thursday. Among the A-list fairgoers were the Heated Rivalry star François Arnaud, Emma Watson and Fiona Shaw of Harry Potter fame, Deadwood star Timothy Olyphant, Red Hot Chili Pepper Anthony Kiedis, Inglourious Basterds villain Christoph Waltz and Joker director Todd Phillips."
"The chain's now-defunct 19,000sq.-ft location at 6121 Wilshire Boulevard is the unlikely site of one of Frieze Week's can't-miss events. 99Cent (until 1 March) is a group exhibition featuring more than 200 artists led by the street-art legend Barry McGee and Tom Franco, co-organised with The Hole and Jeffrey Deitch galleries. Sunday's opening attracted a behemoth crowd of around 2,400 people."
"Brooklyn-based artist Stephanie H. Shih, known for replicating dumplings and other Asian comfort foods, has made beautiful painted ceramic knock-offs of Erewhon's juice line, complete with their recognisable orange caps."
Frieze Week drew numerous A-list celebrities including actors, musicians, and directors to its tent, where collectors, curators, and advisers browsed artworks. Notable attendees included François Arnaud, Emma Watson, Timothy Olyphant, Anthony Kiedis, and Christoph Waltz. Former 49ers quarterback Joe Montana visited the Frieze Impact Prize stand featuring artist Napoles Marty's paper works and wooden sculptures. Separately, Brooklyn artist Stephanie H. Shih created ceramic replicas of Erewhon organic juice bottles as artistic commentary. A major exhibition called 99Cent opened in a former 99 Cents Only store location, featuring over 200 artists curated by street-art legend Barry McGee and Tom Franco, attracting approximately 2,400 attendees at its opening.
