Eva Langret (Director, Frieze London) said: ‘Visitors this year will find the fair reimagined, with solo presentations and emerging artists front and centre, in a demonstration of Frieze’s commitment to the most exciting art being made today. Our new layout also features more spots for conversation and exchange. These changes promise fresh experiences and new perspectives.’
With 130 galleries from 26 countries, Frieze Masters 2024 is led by Nathan Clements-Gillespie and sees a reimagined, artist-centred approach, including an expanded Studio section and a redefined floor plan to encourage creative connections across art history.
The fair's new Creative Advisor, Sheena Wagstaff, said: ‘Our new curatorial direction acknowledges how artists visit Frieze Masters to satisfy their curiosity, rejuvenate their thinking and see how the work of their artist peers reflects the creative values of the past.’
