Christopher Lew’s Five Favourite Works from Frieze Viewing Room

Mire Lee 

Eyes of the Grapes, 2022 

Concrete 

$ 20,000 

Tina Kim Gallery 



I was thrilled to encounter Mire's work in the Venice Biennale and this haunting piece only made me wish I had also seen her MMK Frankfurt show. 

Shara Hughes 

Radiant Yet Murky, 2022 

Oil and dye on canvas 

Galerie Eva Presenhuber 



I had the pleasure of working with Shara during the 2017 Whitney Biennial, and I think her paintings are more mesmerizing than ever. 

Laetitia Yhap 

Tom Twice, 1976 

Charcoal on Paper 

$ 5,700 

Tabula Rasa 

I'm probably biased because I had the honor of co-curating the Focus Asia section for Frieze Seoul, but Laetitia Yhap's work was a discovery for me – and this drawing is so deeply poignant. 

Chim↑Pom 

Ellie’s fly, 2013 

Lambda print mounted on aluminum 

Edition 3, $10-20k 

ANOMALY 

What I love about Chim↑Pom is their ability to create works that are simultaneously threatening and captivating. 

Cody Choi 

DATABASE PAINTING, ANIMAL TOTEM, KITTY #2207002355 

$20-50k 

PKM 

Cody has such extraordinary skill at combining pop imagery, personal experience and cultural identity – and often with great humor.
