art food it's like the good things in life almost it's like what makes life worth living so i kind of want to work in things where i would be a consumer and that would make my life better you know it's very lucky to work in these areas so i suppose that those are the kind of connecting things
You asked what's next for Freeze.
We are no longer shareholders of Freeze.
We are consultants to Freeze.
And Freeze is partnering this year with Abu Dhabi.
So there's an existing Abu Dhabi fair and it's becoming a Freeze Abu Dhabi because the Middle East is obviously a very important place for the art market.
Today, I don't know how that's going to go.
I think they're probably selling the stands as we speak, and that'll be interesting conversations.
Luckily, I don't have to deal with that.
But it's a really good team that runs Freeze.
They're amazing directors.
Ava Longrey runs Freeze London here.
It's just fantastic, and was a curator, and does a better job than we could ever do.
Simon Fox, the CEO.
Again, to run a bigger thing that's international with other owners,
We're not the right people to do that.
He's a very experienced CEO, lovely guy, very intelligent, modest, knows what he knows and what he doesn't know, and has done actually a really good job.
So, you know, I'm proud of Freeze and proud it continues.
We're not so involved and it will take its own direction, but it's lovely that it has this presence, I suppose, and that I can meet someone and they will have heard of Freeze probably.
