Comments on: David Fried, Artist https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/08/17/david-fried-artist/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sun, 08 Mar 2026 14:16:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Paul Hostovsky https://spitalfieldslife.com/2016/08/17/david-fried-artist/#comment-1956872 Sun, 08 Mar 2026 14:16:05 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=148395#comment-1956872 Hi David,

So good to read about you, to see your face again, and also your artwork. We were friends, you remember, in Denmark, back when we were 5 or 6 years old. At the Esperanto School. You were a great artist back then already, you were! I visited you years later in Shoreditch, with a DeafBlind woman on my arm. And I think we met up in Boston once too. Then we lost touch again. But I think of you often. I remember your philosophizing already as a 6-year-old: “That’s the trouble with balls, you never know where they’re going to go,” you said when we were kicking a ball out on the schoolyard. I will never forget you! I hope you are well. God bless!

I used to be Taff some times and a drummer in Hook Nose and the Bracelets, sometimes. I remember some great times round your house. Do you still have that painting “The Fucking Wanker”? or did you sell it? I always liked your art work. It’s good to see you are still at it.
Love n Peace.

I remember you from my childhood – we used to come around to the house in Kilburn. My late father (Karl Rikowski) knew Erich very well. We liven in Hampstead.

I was looking at your lithograph of the three Sisters in Bow which I have on the wall in my home to remind me of Bruce Road when I was young and which I like for itself.

I thought I wonder what has happened to David Fried and to his work.I was delighted to see you are still working and I thought I should write to congratulate you!

With best wishes,

Richard Morgan
