Frieze Week 2017 has just barely\u00a0begun,\u00a0but we’re already experiencing art fair fatigue. There’s nothing quite like walking into a warehouse-sized venue and seeing the mile-long road of\u00a0booths stretching out before you. And just when you think\u00a0you’ve run your eyes over each painting, drawing, sculpture and\u00a0photograph in that massive space, chances are you’ll unfold your map to discover that there’s a second floor.\u00a0If you’re able to make it through\u00a0two or more fairs in one day this week, you’re a hero. The following is a true account of one writer’s experience, told in pictures she took as she navigated the TEFAF<\/a> preview last night.<\/p>\n
