Alvaro Barrington names Tupac as the greatest artist of his lifetime in a preview of Frieze offerings that includes pine cones, glitter and a hip-hop head among the works for sale.

Asked to name two favourite artists, one dead and one living, Barrington answered: “Tupac and Tupac.” He added: “He’s the greatest artist in my lifetime.” His response places the same figure in both categories rather than offering separate names.

Barrington’s accompanying explanation presents artistic practice as a response to experience: noticing something that has happened and expressing a feeling about it. The supplied excerpt ends during that explanation, before giving details of his Frieze offering or identifying the artists associated with the other works mentioned.
