Galeria Francesca Pia, near Foxy's booth, had one of the best installations of any booth I saw at the fair. Check my Flickr set later today for an image.

Lombard-Freid Projects featured Cao Fei on the outside walls, and filled the interior with sociopolitical work by Michael Rakowitz (a large table of works from his The invisible enemy should not exist project related to looted Iraqi museums) and Dan Perjovschi's Postcards from America from 1994.

Hauser & Wirth created a room in their booth for a total Martin Creed installation complete with an automated door piece that, despite the signs saying "don't touch" kept getting broken by ladies in high heels with cocktails. They also had a Paul McCarthy pink silicone sculpture titled Mimi that was available in an edition of 6 that could be yours for only $450,000.

D'Amelio Terras had a new take on her pottery works by Nicole Cherubini that incorporated additional sculpture and a C-print. Again, check my photos later.

One of the galleries I never miss at an art fair is The Modern Institute from Glasgow. They did not disappoint, with works by Jim Lambie, Martin Boyce, and others.

Another Glasgow gallery, which had a strong showing in the Art Positions in Miami, is Sorcha Dallas. They had a two person show of skilled and beautiful ink drawings by Rob Churm and paintings and sculpture by Charlie Hammond.

Rivington Arms had a number of smart paintings by John Finneran incorporating oil, enamel, and metal.

Zeno X Gallery filled its booth with excellent painting from Belgium including Raoul de Keyser and Kees Goudzwaard.

Leo Koening had a strong booth with works by Brandon Lattu (a sculpture based on photographs Inigo Jones's Banqueting Room and a large C-print based on digital scans), Kelli Williams (a highly detailed small painting inspired by an Iraqi palace), Tom Sanford, Tony Matelli, Nicole Eisenman, Norbert Bisky, and others.

Stella Lohaus, one of my favorite galleries from last year's Armory Show, had a number of good sculptures / floor pieces by John Bock, Joëlle Tuerlincxx, and Gert Robijns.

That's all for now. Check back later for Pulse, Scope, and other coverage.
