As Pop Life transforms some of Tate Modern’s galleries into pseudo-shops, commercial dealers in London are busy aping museums, seeking in these less speculative times to give the imprimatur of scholarly gravitas to their Frieze week shows. Thus Gagosian’s Ed Ruscha, On the Road complements the Hayward’s retrospective, Lisson’s Anish Kapoor extends the sculptor’s Royal Academy exhibition, and Haunch of Venison, occupying the former premises of the Museum of Mankind, presents a museum-style overview of minimalism in Castellani Flavin Judd Uecker. Among younger galleries, nothing illustrates the desperation to hitch a museum ride better than Cynthia Corbett’s Young Masters, a group show of parodies, mostly in photography and mixed media, of Old Masters.

While 164 galleries jostle for four days’ attention in the big tent in Regent’s Park, the following, in no particular order, are my top suggestions for museum-quality contemplative looking in London’s contemporary galleries both established and new.
