The Frieze art fair is set to plant the flag of British culture and commerce on Manhattan soil in its first overseas expansion of the brand. But while organisers plan to shake up the cosy world of New York art fairs, and draw thousands of buyers and fans of contemporary art to a snaking, architecturally unique tent on Randall's Island, Frieze arrives as art critics and curators detect a significant shift in art practice away from the overtly market-orientated and commercial.
