A global gathering and a new era of artistic exploration
As the leaves in Regent’s Park turn to hues of autumn, the world of contemporary and historical art converges once again for the much- anticipated Frieze Masters art fair, set to take place from October 9 to 13, 2024. This edition promises to be a landmark event, heralding a fresh, reimagined experience for art lovers and professionals alike.
A bold new layout for creative engagement
At the heart of this year’s Frieze Masters is a redesigned space that embodies a commitment to artist- focused programming. Visitors will find the fair invigorated with solo presentations and emerging artists taking centre stage. This new layout isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s crafted to foster conversation and exchange, creating a dynamic environment where ideas can flourish and new perspectives emerge. With an expanded Studio section and a redefined floor plan, Frieze Masters offers an unparalleled opportunity for creative connections across art history.
Nurturing new voices
Running concurrently is Frieze London 2024, boasting participation from over 160 galleries representing 43 countries. These include some of the most influential spaces in London, such as Arcadia Missa, Carlos/Ishikawa, and White Cube, among others. The fair’s Focus section, presented in collaboration with Stone Island, shines a spotlight on the young gallery community, with bursaries to support emerging talents. This partnership underscores Frieze’s dedication to nurturing new voices and pushing the boundaries of contemporary art.
Leadership and vision
Under Nathan Clements-Gillespie’s astute leadership and the visionary guidance of new Creative Advisor Sheena Wagstaff, Frieze Masters 2024 is set to redefine the art fair experience. Wagstaff emphasises the fair’s new curatorial direction, which acknowledges how artists engage with Frieze Masters to rejuvenate their thinking. Her influence ensures a platform where the creative values of the past are dialogued with contemporary practices.
A citywide celebration
Frieze Week in London amplifies the cultural vibrancy of the event, with major institutional exhibitions complementing the fair. Highlights include ‘Francis Bacon: Human Presence’ at the National Portrait Gallery, ‘Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers’ at the National Gallery, and ‘Mike Kelley: Ghost and Spirit’ at Tate Modern. These exhibitions offer a rich context for the art showcased at Frieze, inviting visitors to explore a broader artistic narrative.
Continuing partnerships and new endeavours
For the 21st consecutive year, Frieze Masters is supported by global lead partner Deutsche Bank, a testament to their shared commitment to artistic excellence. This year, the bank will feature Rene Matić, a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans film, sculpture, and photography, reflecting the fair’s dedication to diverse artistic expressions.
