Frieze Art Fair

“Frieze is an art world feeding frenzy.”

13-16 October 2011 | Regent's Park, London | More information

Introducing Frieze feels a bit like making an introduction between two friends only to discover they are married. But just incase: Frieze Art Fair is one of the world’s most influential contemporary art fairs, bringing an international focus to the dynamic contemporary art scene in London. Every year sees the most forward-thinking galleries from around the globe, present work by over 1,000 of the world’s most innovative artists, in a giant construction in Regent’s Park.

This year there are a total of 173 exhibitors from 33 countries. Additions to last year’s participants include Galerie Chantal Crousel (Paris), Konrad Fischer Galerie (Dusseldorf), Johnen Galerie (Berlin), Yvon Lambert (Paris), The Pace Gallery (New York), Andrea Rosen Gallery (New York) and Donald Young Gallery (Chicago).  There is so much to see but be sure to take in Frame – a section of the fair dedicated to galleries established less than six years ago; it provides the opportunity to see and buy work from artists of all generations that are yet to gain a significant international reputation. So whilst bagging yourself a bargain might be an overstatement, it is well worth a gander for those with a gifted eye.

So as always, there is a lot to see, a lot of ground to cover and a lot of social schmoozing to be done. Thus the perennial decision persists: which shoes does one wear?!

A Frieze-ing,
