On Its First Day, Frieze Masters Saw Bigger Crowds and More Curated Booths.

Frieze Masters has always been known for its calmness and elegance, but when it opened today (October 11) at Regent’s Park, this was no longer the case. The aisles were jam-packed and the spirit was high ... Saloman Lilian from Geneva showed Frans Hals’ Portrait of a 50 Year Old Man (1635) to coincide with the National Gallery’s survey show of the artist. The work, which has not been shown publicly in 112 years, is selling for €10 million. London-based Simon C. Dickinson showed Lucian Freud’s Profile Donegal Man (2008), which has an asking price of £15 million. Lyndsey Ingram, also from London, is selling a set of Matisses from the artist’s “Jazz” portfolio.
