Frieze London, Frieze Masters Names More Than 280 Exhibitors

Frieze has named the more than 280 exhibitors from 45 countries that will participate in its two October fairs, Frieze London and Frieze Masters, in the British capital. The two fairs will run concurrently on opposite ends of Regent’s Park from October 15 to October 19.

Around 160 galleries will participate in Frieze London, while some 120 will be at Frieze Masters across multiple sections. This year’s edition of Frieze Masters will be the first under the direction of Emanuela Tarizzo. Organized by independent curator Fatoş Üstek, Frieze Sculpture will once again return to the English Gardens in Regent’s Park, running September 17 to November 2.

Among the blue-chip international participants in Frieze London are Gagosian, Pace, Hauser & Wirth, David Zwirner, Lisson Gallery, OMR, Thaddaeus Ropac, Southern Guild, White Cube, and Michael Werner. Frieze London also include 58 London-based galleries like The Approach, Arcadia Missa, Carlos/Ishikawa, Sadie Coles HQ, Thomas Dane Gallery, Hollybush Gardens, Maureen Paley, and Victoria Miro.

Frieze Masters will feature Ben Brown Fine Arts, Galleria Continua, Eric Firestone Gallery, Hauser & Wirth, The Mayor Gallery, Mazzoleni, Pace Gallery, Ortuzar, Proyectos Monclova, and Salon 94.

In addition to the main Galleries section, each fair has curated sectors. At Frieze London, there will be Artist-to-Artist, consisting of six presentations in which one artist nominates another. Those include Ana Segovia, nominated by Abraham Cruzvillegas, at Kurimanzutto; René Treviño, nominated by Amy Sherald, at Erin Cluley Gallery; and Ilana Harris-Babou, nominated by Camile Henrot, at Dreamsong. The Editions section will include five exhibitors like Cristea Roberts Gallery and STPI.

Organized by independent curator Jareh Das, the curated section will take the title “Echoes in the Present” and will focus on artists from Brazil, Africa, and their diasporas. Participating galleries include Galerie Atiss Dakar, Simões de Assis, Mitre Galeria, Nara Roesler, and Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel. Additionally, the Focus section, for galleries in business for up to 12 years, will feature several first-time exhibitors, including Bombon, Coulisse, Cylinder, Gathering, Kayokoyuki, Eli Kerr, and King’s Leap.

“Frieze London this year deepens our commitment to artists shaping the future of contemporary art, and continues to foreground practices that challenge, inspire and expand how we think about art today,” said Eva Langret, Frieze’s director for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, in a statement. “Drawing on the spirit of London’s restless creative pulse—championing bold ideas and setting the pace for curatorial innovation—the fair reinforces the city’s status as a globally recognised centre of contemporary culture.”

At Frieze Masters, the Spotlight section will feature presentations of 20th-century artists and is organized by Valerie Cassel Oliver, curator of modern and contemporary art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Among the artists set to be exhibited are Helena Almeida (at Galeria Francisco Fino), Ha Bik Chuen (Rossi & Rossi), Agustin Fernandez (Jeremy Scholar), Eleonore Koch (Almeida & Dale), Bertina Lopes (Richard Saltoun Gallery), Nalini Malani (Volte Gallery), and Cildo Meireles (Galatea & Luisa Strina).

Meanwhile, the Studio section will be organized by Sheena Wagstaff and Margrethe Troensegaard and feature artists like Anju Dodiya (at Vadehra Art Gallery), Samia Halaby (Sfeir-Semler Gallery), and R. H. Quaytman (Miguel Abreu Gallery).

“It’s a privilege to lead Frieze Masters into this next chapter,” Tarizzo said in a statement. “From ancient art to 20th-century icons, the fair will showcase works that speak across time and place, inviting collectors and audiences to discover the depth, beauty and power of art history. I’m excited to welcome visitors to an edition shaped by both history and fresh perspectives.”
