NEW YORK—As contemporary art lovers descend on Randall’s Island this weekend, a big red balloon dog by Tom McCarthy (not Jeff Koons) greets them. The whimsical work anchors the Frieze New York Sculpture Park and is complemented by a wide range of creative sculptures and installations inside the fair, including an intriguing, incredibly detailed green polyester structure by Do Ho Suh that features molding and decorative door locks.
Frieze New York is on view through Monday, from May 8 to May 11, 2013.
