Walking into the Frieze Art Fair is like being physically swept into a whirlwind of creativity. On display are a dazzling range of work by artists from across the world. The range of colors and styles is breathtaking.
This year’s fair brings together the world’s leading galleries, showcasing today’s most significant modern and contemporary artists, alongside the fair’s celebrated programs of films, talks, and performances.
Visitors can explore the main gallery along with curated sections. New this year is a special section, Social Work, featuring women artists whose work emerged in response to the global social and political schisms of the 1980s and ‘90s. Paying homage to artists who challenged the status quo and explored the possibilities of political activism in their art-making, Social Work is devised by a panel of eminent art historians and critics.
