‘⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dudek’s whole look is dystopian abstraction, taking all the wreckage of his past and reassembling it into fractured grey images and threatening installations. All the rusted and twisted metal here is full of anger and incomprehension, but you get the sense that if he keeps digging, keeps uncovering and excavating the past, it might eventually start making sense.’ – @eddyfffrankel @guardian Marcin Dudek’s new show PAWILON is included in Eddy Frankel’s Gallery Crawl for The Guardian today. Head to our bio to read more. #EdelAssanti #MarcinDudek #TheGuardian — Marcin Dudek, PAWILON, installation views, Edel Assanti, Fitzrovia, London, UK, 2026. Courtesy Edel Assanti.

Lichtenstein made Pop art look simple. It was easy to take his appropriation at face value; the rigour behind it was harder to see. As the Whitney (@whitneymuseum) in New York prepares a major retrospective, Eddy Frankel (@eddyfffrankel) asks what his work means in an age drowning in images⁠. ⁠ Read the full article at the link in the bio. ⁠ ⁠ Pictured: ⁠ ⁠ Roy Lichtenstein, 1969.

INVITATION TO BID!!!! 😎 Bidding finishes midnight 9th October2026‼️ What’s a banana worth? Apparently $6.2 million. 😂 My work Comedian Revisited, currently showing in ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ at Penny School Gallery, @kingston.college_creatives is a playful — but serious — response to Maurizio Cattelan’s infamous Comedian. The original banana sold for $120,000–$150,000 in 2019, before one edition was resold at Sotheby’s in 2024 for a jaw-dropping $6.2 million. The new owner later ate it at a press event. 🍌 The buyer actually owns a certificate and instructions for replacing the banana as it rots. So really, you’re buying the idea of a banana. My “Comedian Revisited” is available for considerably less. And thankfully, this one isn’t edible… in case you’re feeling peckish. 😉 A little pun, a little satire, and a serious look at how we decide what art — and ordinary objects — are worth. Want to own it? 🍌 Bidding starts at £ 25 DM me your bid by latest midnight 9th October Highest bid wins. . CURRENT BID £90 ‼️

Here are some of the photos from my exhibition at @oof_gallery that closes today Thank you to everyone who came down over the past five months, the absolutely wonderful people at OOF for being kind enough to put on the show and @salomon & @somesuchandco for their support. A few copies of the accompanying photo book are still available on the OOF website! —— Alfie Whiteman: 'A Loan' In 2025, aged just 26 and still in his prime, Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman retired from football. But back in 2021, he was still a professional athlete, slogging it out on loan at Swedish side Degerfors IF. Stuck out in the Scandinavian countryside – isolated, alone and bored in a small town on the southern shore of Lake Möckeln – he started taking pictures. The result is ‘A Loan’, a photography exhibition capturing the tedium, frustration and humour of life in the middle of nowhere for an athlete who was just starting to question everything. It documents the first steps in Whiteman rejecting the football dream, and realising that there must be more to life than the same routine he'd been stuck in since childhood. These are funny, sad, silly, angry, surreal photos filled with youthful dissatisfaction; a testament to following your own path, even when everyone thinks you're mad for doing it.

Lindsey Mendick’s ‘By A Thread’ is on view at Pippy Houldsworth Gallery until 11 July 2026 🪡 💓 In ‘By A Thread’, gilded moths feast on the lustrous vessel and its plush hand-knitted surroundings, nibbling holes in fabric and fraying the edges of clay. Throughout her work, insects such as cockroaches, caterpillars, and moths proliferate, acting as symbols of infestation and bodily unease. Through this interplay of the seductive and the abject, ‘By A Thread’ explores vulnerability, beauty, and destruction as simultaneous truths. Lindsey has also just opened a solo exhibition ‘Where You End And I Begin’ at Carl Freedman Gallery, Margate which has received a 4 star review in The Guardian. Congratulations Lindsey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
