At art fairs, the ARTnews team checks in from time to time with dealers at certain booths to hear about any sales they’ve made. These disclosures are collected in a completely non-scientific fashion and based mainly on which booths have a director or owner who is free, at that moment, to discuss numbers, or whatever they want to discuss. They are in vaguely geographical order, though sometimes they come via email (which accounts for some of the formatting quirks). Sometimes the price comes without any other details on the piece. Sometimes the dealer may not want to discuss price at all. These numbers can’t really be verified, but that isn’t to say you shouldn’t believe them.
Anton Kern
Sold one Mark Grotjahn cardboard mask sculpture for $500,000, with “very firm offers,” for another at that price, and a third at $750,000.
303 Gallery
Two main works from the booth by Alicja Kwade and another by Valentin Carron, all three sold for around €30,000.

Lisson Gallery
From a spokesman:
“At Lisson Gallery’s Frieze London booth (B5), where Cory Arcangel, Ryan Gander and Joyce Pensato have been allowed to dress the staff and generally intervene with the smooth running of the operations, works by all three artists have flown off the stand.
All the Pensato works on the booth have sold, including the vast drawing of a grinning Mickey Mouse, Mickey for Micky (2014). Pensato’s art, which has recently been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Santa Monica Museum of Art, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and a debut at Lisson Gallery earlier this year, sells at a price range of $60,000 – $200,000.
Two Ryan Gander pieces have also been bought (see details below) priced between £40,000- £70,000 ($64,000-$122,000).
Two Arcangel Lake works have sold: Miley / Lakes (2014) and Gummies / Lakes (2013). These meditative flatscreen works are available in the region of $60,000 – $90,000. Arcangel’s Surfware merchandise—’designed to make surfing more comfortable, surfing the web that is’—is also available to view and buy at the booth together with his Lakes flatscreen series and newly created Photoshop Gradient Demonstrations, making versions of his art an affordable must-have for all levels of collector.
