Zoo Art Fair is like a younger sibling to the Frieze Art Fair - Zoo a bit of a cheeky adolescent and Frieze definitely past puberty and well developed. If you half close your eyes, the fairs can look similar but Zoo, being younger, offers more surprises which - if you can handle the stroppy crap as well as the good stuff, such as Keith Holbrook's Carrying a Giantess, above - can make Zoo the more vital, risk-taking experience. Luckily we've got both fairs, and shouldn’t complain. Bright and sparky, Zoo offers the best of the smaller galleries, both here and abroad - a highly convenient, fun overview of what’s coming next. Recommended.
