- But the best part of Frieze week is probably Misako & Rosen’s booth, where Ken Kagami is drawing personalized caricatures of fair attendees’ penises and breasts. [artnet News]

- Galleria Continua, the Italian gallery that represents Anish Kapoor, is opening a location in Havana, Cuba with an exhibition by Kapoor. I wonder if other galleries are going to follow as the country’s relationship with the global community improves. [The Art Newspaper]
