The Frieze Art Fair opened yesterday to energized crowds who were hungry to see what galleries brought to London's premier art fair — even if they didn't particularly feel like opening their wallets. What follows is a list of top ten best booths to see at the fair, in no particular order, and then the single worst thing at Frieze.

BEST

– Elmgreen and Dragset's untitled, life-sized morgue wall and dead body sculpture at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin booth. That, along with the duo's infant, seen elsewhere at Frieze, allowed the artists to make the art fair a matter of life and death.

– Paul Chan's "Volumes" at Greene Naftali, a series of 28 paintings on book covers.

– Fiona Banner continued the bookish theme with her "Life Drawing Drawings" at the Frith Street Gallery booth, a series of drawings of covers from books of nudes.

– "The Neme Sims," an extraordinary project by Muntean and Rosenblum for Georg Kargl. For the booth the Austrian duocreated a greenish gray house where one could tour the garden, furniture, and paintings by the artists.

– Christoph Jankowski's Frieze Project is an actual yacht, for sale inside the fair as either a boat, for one price, or a work of art, for a higher price.

– Nick van Woert's group of sculptures at Galerie Yvon Lambert is composed of black spoor-like floor pieces and a stack of oblong Plexiglas boxes, filled with a host of different substances — creating a wall of color and texture.

– Martha Friedman's "Cucumber" at the outstanding Wallspace Gallery booth: a set of hand-crafted cucumbers holding transparent Plexiglas planes in place.

–Allora and Calzadilla's "Solar Catastrophe" series at Galerie Chantal Crousel and at Kurimanzuto introduces gorgeous abstract paintings constructed of broken solar cells.

– The bizarre and captivating performances by Aki Sasamoto at Take Ninagawa Gallery in the Frame section. You had to be there.

– In Matthew Brannon's train station installation at Casey Kaplan letterpress travel posters, signage, and sculptures came together to transport the viewer back into mid-century.

THE SINGLE WORST THING AT FRIEZE

"Nothing Disappears Only Our Amnesia" by FOS at Max Wigram. As a reward for locking two live birds in gilt cages at the crowded fair, for the amusement and profit of others, FOS ought to be caged himself.
