If you want something that encapsulates just how central Frieze Art Fair has become to the art world since its inception in 2003, the fact that last week, Tate’s director of collection: international art Gregor Muir wrote a piece swooning over it in a newspaper, might be it.
That kind of publicity, from arguably the most important man in UK museum collecting, would have been unthinkable when this fair opened the flaps of its tent 20 years ago.
