{"product_id":"richard-prince-gavin-turk-adrian-piper-et-al-frieze-issue-1-london-1991","title":"RICHARD PRINCE, GAVIN TURK, ADRIAN PIPER et al., frieze, Issue 1, London, 1991","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first issue of frieze, published in London in 1991 and priced on its cover for four markets: UK £3, US $6, AUS $10.95, NZ $12.95. Under a red masthead on teal, a circular photograph and four cover lines: Vong Phaophanit, Richard Prince, the Turner Prize, Windfall. The magazine was started by Matthew Slotover, Amanda Sharp and Tom Gidley; twelve years later Slotover and Sharp opened Frieze Art Fair in Regent's Park, and the name now belongs as much to the fair as to the magazine. Issue 1 holds the earlier arrangement, when frieze was only paper. Its Turner Prize feature has Stuart Morgan looking at \"this years [sic] shortlist\", Fiona Rae, Ian Davenport, Anish Kapoor and Rachel Whiteread, each photographed in the studio; by its own wording it was written before the result, and Kapoor went on to win in the first year of Channel 4's sponsorship, when the prize was limited to four artists under fifty. A few pages on, Gavin Turk is represented by a photograph of an empty white studio with a single blue plaque reading \"Gavin Turk, Sculptor, worked here 1989–1991\". This is \u003cem\u003eCave\u003c\/em\u003e, his installation for the Royal College of Art degree show in June 1991, the work for which he was failed; the same year, it appears in the first issue of a new magazine. Richard Prince gets a spread set across the fold, \"Diamonds and Dirt: Richard Prince's Greatest Hits\", over \u003cem\u003eUntitled (Cowboys)\u003c\/em\u003e, 1987, credited as an Ektacolour print courtesy Barbara Gladstone Gallery, with Greg Hilty reviewing \u003cem\u003eSpiritual America\u003c\/em\u003e and the J.G. Ballard interview printed in full. Adrian Piper's section opens on a documentary photograph credited to John Weber Gallery and includes \u003cem\u003eUR-Mutter #8\u003c\/em\u003e, a photo-text collage. The advertising dates the issue as closely as the editorial: the ICA's single-word \"inimitable\" page and a Grob Gallery notice for Marc Quinn, 11 October to 16 November, both give London numbers beginning 071, a code in use only from 1990 to 1995; Tate records that Quinn's \u003cem\u003eSelf\u003c\/em\u003e was first exhibited at Grob Gallery in 1991. Between them, a full-page photograph of two cherries, one wearing a sticker that reads \"hope\", goes unexplained. Read now, the issue holds a Turner Prize still undecided, a degree-show work still marked as a fail, and a magazine that had not yet become a fair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"frieze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55089325211986,"sku":"TNR-2026-0690","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/RichardPrince_FRIEZE_199102_jpg.png?v=1792079240","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/richard-prince-gavin-turk-adrian-piper-et-al-frieze-issue-1-london-1991","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
