Have you ever been curious and want to know how many artworks about sex, nude and women some big fairs like Frieze will show? I bet you are and so am I. Thus I had decided to take my chance on the preview day Thursday, when it was not fully open to public, to conduct this serious research.

 

Sex is still an unusual and not very comfortable topic for many people in 2019, weird but true. On the other hand, artists get inspiration from sex to make their works attractive, beautiful, erotic, shocking or even disgusting. Out of surprise, there were so many such works in Frieze. My listing became exhausting and I myself, after spending almost a full day, became exhausted in the end. I lost my track and forgot to record some caption information of certain works. And some very small part of the works which contained sex, nude and women were neglected as well.

Nevertheless, I am now able to present you my findings and I hope they are useful or entertaining to you.
