“The heavy hitters of the art world are gathering in London for Frieze, the youngest, coolest art fair on the calendar.”
The Independent, 10 October 2008

“With first-time exhibitors from China, Turkey, India and Argentina ...Frieze still managed to provide a random snapshot of an increasingly global and youthful art world in transition.” Roberta Smith
The New York Times, 18 October 2008

Frieze Art Fair is one of the few fairs to focus on contemporary art and living artists. The exhibiting galleries represent the most exciting contemporary galleries working today. This focus is also maintained by the critically acclaimed Frieze Projects’ programme. The fair presents a curated programme of talks, artists’ commissions and film projects, many of which are interactive or performative and encourage visitors to engage with art and artists directly.

Unlike most other fairs, Frieze Art Fair is housed in a bespoke temporary structure in Regent’s Park and benefits from having a natural light source, avoiding the atmosphere of a trade show, thus making the fair more lively and energetic.

Since the first year Frieze Art Fair has also been fortunate enough to work with a series of talented architects: David Adjaye, Jamie Fobert and Caruso St John, who are well known for their work on museums and art galleries. The architects’ brief is to make the fair an inviting and unique experience. Each year there are eye-catching changes to the design, décor, entrance and spaces such as restaurants and cafes. The architects have the opportunity to experiment and this adds to the experience of the fair.
