FRIEZE NEW YORK IS SMALLER BUT STILL PACKS A GLOBAL PUNCH

THE NEW YORK TIMES
MAY 8, 2025

“Fairs are very much for-profit ventures (sadly, what isn’t these days in the art world), but two nonprofit initiatives at Frieze deserve mention. … ‘Incomplete* Listing,’ compiled by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at the New School includes a detailed list and map of 84 freely accessible reading spaces in New York. Some, like the Brooklyn Public Library, are more obvious. Others are lesser known, like the Library of the Printed Web at MoMA, the Morbid Anatomy Library & Giftshop or Wendy’s Subway, a reading room, writing space and independent publisher in Bushwick. But they might be good places to commune with art-and-idea-minded people when the rush of Frieze week subsides.”
