Eddie Martinez: Highlights from Frieze London 2023

Lucy Rees, Galerie, 13 October 2023

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the esteemed Frieze London fair returns to the British capital with its signature white tent erected at Regents Park from October 11 to 15. Split into two main sites—Frieze London and Frieze Masters—the art fair covers some 43,000-square feet of the royal park. Frieze London, which presents contemporary work created within the last 20 years, has this year brought together more than 160 galleries from 46 countries, while Frieze Masters features more than 130 historical galleries, spanning antiquities to Old Master painting and modern masterpieces.

 

On a grey Wednesday morning, throngs of well-heeled collectors made their way to the entrance for the VIP first look, which was noticeably more streamlined this year thanks to a newly implemented two-part entry system. The mood was as vibrant and high-energy as one would hope for such an anniversary edition.” This year we are excited to be celebrating this milestone with the most international edition of Frieze London yet, with 28 participants celebrating their 20th consecutive year at Frieze,” Eva Langret, the director of Frieze, tells Galerie.
