Generally speaking, the autumn is a strong time for new exhibitions in London, mostly because galleries plan the highlights of their programmes to coincide with the behemoth Frieze Art Fair at the start of October when hordes of international art dealers and collectors descend on the city for a few days. This autumn, I'm looking forward to:
Frieze Art Fair and Frieze Masters
I have a love/hate relationship with Frieze - it is a fantastic opportunity to catch up on trends in contemporary art and get inspiration for work projects, but it is too expensive, too big, too hot and too full of 'art people'.
Abstract Expressionism
Major works by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko, amongst others, will no doubt be stunningly presented at the Royal Academy.

William Kentridge
I find William Kentridge's work fascinating so am looking forward to this show at the Whitechapel Gallery.

Turner Prize
Sometimes controversial and often disappointing, the Turner Prize exhibition at Tate Britain is still a must-see.
