London Calling: Tracey Emin Making Art to Order

We blame the frozen economy for keeping us from this year’s Frieze Art Fair in London, but it didn’t stop us from living vicariously through others.

Tempted to ask him to pose w/me in Ryan Gander‘s on-site photo studio.”), we made invited one particularly indulgent associate to narrate—by cell phone—the whole of his experience at the just-opened Ed Ruscha retrospective at the Hayward.
