Description: London is home to more five-star hotels than Paris, more Michelin-starred restaurants than New York, and more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than Beijing. Of the five most visited museums on Earth last year, two are right here. But what really makes London a unique global capital, I think, is its eccentricity. Where else would a barrister ask a young designer to decorate their office with Memphis furniture (p.64)? Or a chef win an OBE for cooking in a school bike shed (p.62)? This issue of Frieze Week is all about that nonconformist spark. Our cover is a special commission by the London and New York-based artist Andrew Sim, depicting the monkey puzzle tree that grows beside the Frieze fairs in The Regent's Park. For Sim, the way these once-sacred trees, imported from the Andes mountains, have become staples of British green space tells a story about resilience and (mis)recognition: of otherness hiding in plain sight. As one of this city's immigrant adoptees once said: In London, everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in.'
