THE HOUSE OF THE NOBLEMAN CURATED BY WOLFE VON LENKIEWICZ & VICTORIA GOLEMBIOVSKAYA PRESS CLIPPING (INTERNET) AVANTE http://www.harpersbazaar.co.uk/fashion/blog/the-editors/house-of-noble-man House of Noble Man Oct 18, 2010 04:06:00 PM by Sarah Bailey | love the extraordinary and intriguing exhibitions which one encounters around the edges of Frieze. 2009's The Age of the Marvellous at One Marylebone (curated by AVA) was one such discovery - dark and theatrical - which stayed with me all year... This year's House of Noble Man (a collaboration between the Saatchi Gallery and Channel 4's New Sensations), is another spectacular show of a very different flavour mounted in No. 2 Cornwall Terrace, a gleaming showcase of super-prime real-estate. (| attended on the opening night and was treated to a tour of two other oligarch-ready show mansions at No.6 and 11 Cornwall Terrace, by a dashing Knight Frank estate agent by the name of Darren Daggers... Quite surreal, but, of course, an incredibly resonant statement about the current art market). Back at No. 2 Cornwall Terrace, House of Noble Man curated by Victoria Golembiovskaya and artist-of-the- moment Wolfe Von Lenkiewicz mixes work from the giants of modern art - Cezanne and Picasso - with some dazzling and provocative contemporary pieces plus, of course, Channel 4's New Sensations discoveries. | loved the filigree Cement Truck sculpture by Wim Delvoye (the Belgian conceptual artist probably best-known for his work in the 90s involving the tattooing of live pigs), Rachel Whiteread's dolls house chess set and New Sensation Elizabeth Jordan's dream-like kinetic installation, which she is showing in an upper bedroom. Of course, there's nothing like a Frieze party to lure out London's finest exhibitions and | was very pleased to meet showgoer Philip Levine, who uses his bald pate (bejeweled on this occasion as though he is wearing a Swarovski swim cap) as his canvas. His next show, he informs me, is being sponsored by Gilette... House of Noble Man is on until Wednesday October 20, so do try and see it. Entry is free, but you have to book an appointment. 2 Cornwall Terrace, London, United Kingdom, NW1, cornwallterrace.co.uk (Image: 'House of Noble Man‘, curated by Victoria Golembiovskaya and Wolfe Von Lenkiewicz.) 18 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028298
