Harris Reed’s Favourite Works from Frieze Viewing Room

David Hockney, Gregory in the Pool (Paper Pool 4), 1978

Hand-coloured and pressed paper pulp, 81 × 127 cm. Presented by Waddington Custot

I grew up in Los Angeles, and I feel like the fantasy of a pool is something that is innately a part of me from childhood – the idea of freedom, splashing, looking from the depths at blissful blue skies. Ever since I moved to London eleven years ago, I have found myself gravitating towards David Hockney and his work all the time during winter. It brings a sense of home and colour and warmth to my life in this beautiful grey city I call home.

Anju Dodiya, Orchard Notes, 2025

Watercolour, charcoal and soft pastel on fabric stretched on board, 2.4 × 1.5 m. Presented by Vadehra Art Gallery

All the paintings that my partner and I own together have figures, beings or bodies as part of them. I love this painting’s use of figurative resemblance and its juxtaposition of lines or stripes. It’s almost like watching an old film or a Wes Anderson movie with a spliced screen. I just love how these things that almost shouldn’t work together come together as one so beautifully. Frankly, I would just die to have this piece in my home.

Lindsey Mendick, A witch is born out of the true hungers of her time, 2024

Glazed ceramic, 28 × 13 × 17 cm. Presented by Carl Freedman Gallery

I find Lindsey Mendick’s piece incredibly beautiful. I love old ceramics and the beautiful bright colours that you see in Venetian, Greek and Portuguese ceramics. This modern piece has an almost acidic, poetic, cloudy pastel green. I love the incredible claw-like nails with the gold varnish on them. I think there’s something a little bit disturbing about it, in the best way. I always love bringing a conversation piece into a room or a space. This is incredibly unusual and deeply satisfying. Very much obsessed. 

Eliza Wagener, In den Schlaf fallen, 2024

Oil and acrylic on canvas, 1.2 × 1.4 m. Presented by Galerie Noah Klink

I found myself staring at this work for quite a long time. The idea of sleep is something I joke about with my partner, my team, and even cry to my parents about on the phone. There’s something blissful and truly peaceful about this piece – I’m looking at someone who looks to me as if they’re in a sleepy half-state. It may sound corny, but often while I’m creating or sitting on a train or plane, I feel like I’m kind of in limbo. For me, this was a really beautiful embodiment of what limbo could look like. I’m a sucker for anything that has a punchy blue. It’s an extraordinary work, especially with this argyle pattern at the bottom. 

​Ephraim Ståhl, Pair of Gustavian Armchairs, c.1810

Carved, gilded and bronze-lacquered wood, 84 × 65 × 67 cm. Presented by Galerie Léage

I recently finished renovating my first home, and it all came down to the furniture. When you haven’t much left to spend, I think investing in an extremely fabulous and ornate chair is definitely the way to go. This one immediately took my eye for its sense of whimsy, and for being just altogether iconic.
