The Three Faces of Frieze
Frieze provides a rich, multi-layered experience with three distinctive segments, each highlighting a unique facet of the art world.
Frieze London
At the heart of the fair, Frieze London is dedicated exclusively to contemporary art. With works by living artists and those active in recent decades, it’s a platform for fresh trends and experimental pieces across diverse media.
The atmosphere is dynamic and lively – a bright, expansive arena where gallery booths create intimate zones for visitors to engage closely with the featured artworks.
Frieze London also features specially curated sections like Artist to Artist, showcasing solo shows by emerging talents who were selected by established names; Focus, a platform for younger galleries; and Smoke, a ceramics presentation exploring diasporic and indigenous histories.
These sections add another dimension to the art fair, creating a beautiful, thoughtful dialogue between artists, artworks, and visitors.
Frieze Masters
In contrast to the lively buzz of Frieze London, Frieze Masters offers a more relaxed setting, , inviting visitors to explore art history in depth.
This elegant space spans ancient artefacts, Renaissance paintings, and modernist masterpieces, creating a museum-like blend of the old and new.
Combined with Frieze London, it places contemporary works in a broader context, tracing art’s evolution and recognising the historical influences shaping today’s creators.
Frieze Sculpture
Frieze Sculpture brings art outdoors with a free exhibition in Regent’s Park, running for 4-6 weeks.
With large-scale sculptures and installations set against the park’s landscape, this segment offers a refreshing blend of art and nature.
Hosting 20-25 pieces each year, alongside site-specific art performances, Frieze Sculpture provides a relaxed, accessible way for all ages to experience contemporary art.
