This year’s Frieze is a week earlier than usual and it and the accompanying Frieze Masters as well as the other Fairs taking place will make London an art lovers dream destination. Over a hundred and sixty specialist contemporary galleries from around the world are taking part and there will be a new section The Nineties where major, influential exhibitions from that era will be recalled.  The popular Focus and Live sections will also be making a welcome return.

The Director of Frieze Fairs, Victoria Siddall, sums it up saying: ‘Frieze has become known for its strong curated sections and this year I am particularly excited to see Nicolas Trembley’s selection of artists who changed the conversation in the 1990s. This adds to the great range and diversity of work shown throughout the fair by the world’s leading galleries. I am also thrilled that we will have two official museum acquisition funds at the fair this year, including the Frieze Tate Fund – this was used to purchase Tate’s first-ever performance work at Frieze Art Fair 2004, Roman Ondák’s Queue, which was shown for the recent opening of the new extension. In the fair’s non-profit programme, Raphael Gygax will give a new perspective on Frieze Projects, contributing to the many elements which will make this an unmissable week.’

The popular Sculpture Park in The Regent Park’s English Gardens will have eighteen works on display (this year they will be on view until 8th January 2017). Clare Lilley (Director of Programme at Yorkshire Sculpture Park) who has both chosen and placed the works said: ‘From the contemplative and ephemeral to the robust and monumental, the exhibition includes the park’s first-ever conceptual work – a remaking of a rare 1969 piece by Ed Herring – and classic painted sculptures by Claes Oldenburg and Jean Dubuffet alongside a newly created work by Eddie Martinez.

 British post-war artists are represented by Eduardo Paolozzi, Barry Flanagan and Lynn Chadwick, whilst young and established international artists Nairy Baghramian, Zeng Fanzhi, Claude Lalanne, Huang Rui, Jose Dávila, Matthew Monahan and Goshka Macuga amplify the selection.

Mikayel Ohanjanyan, Renato Nicolodi, and Fernando Casasempere each offer newly made works, as does Conrad Shawcross, whose six-metre-high steel sculpture is a study for his major 2016 commission for the Greenwich Peninsula, while Henry Krokatsis’s imaginary sauna-shed reflects the traditional bandstands and shelters found in London’s parks.’

 The exhibition will captivate and energise both Frieze and Park visitors and I’m gratified that Camden Council has again agreed to extend the end date until January 2017, giving Londoners a wonderful cultural resource over the winter months.’

It promises to be, as usual, a great fair with much to tempt visitors, a fact confirmed by the Fair’s director Victoria Sidwell who says of it: ‘The great response to the redesigned Frieze London last year has attracted an exceptional list of galleries for 2015 and I am thrilled to announce what I believe will be a really strong fair. Once again, both established and young galleries are planning special presentations of mainly new work so Frieze London will be a place to see art of the highest quality and discover emerging artists from all over the world.’

FRIEZE LONDON 2014

FRIEZE LONDON 2014, The Regent’s Park, London, 15th-18th October 2014

This is always a very special experience gathering as it does galleries from around the world and this year promises to be a no less exciting and stimulating experience. Visitors should not forget either the sculpture park a few minutes away in the English Garden, where this year’s works are curated by Clare Lilley, Director of Programme at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

Here is a small selection of some of the galleries that you can see when visiting – something I do recommend you try and do.

The Thomas Dane Gallery (Stand E6) brings sculpture indoors by concentrating on British sculpture with works by Michael Landy, Phillip King and Alexandre da Cunha.

Sprüth Magers (Stand C5) have shown at every Fair since the first one in 2003 and once again make a welcome return with works by Thomas Demand, John Baldessari and John Bock among others.

On Hauser & Wirth’s stand (D6) they celebrate artist Mark Wallinger’s joining them by asking him to curate their stand. Wallinger has taken Sigmund Freud’s study in his Hampstead home (now a museum) as the inspiration for the thematic installation, featuring the gallery’s artists, which is based on Freud’s theories on conscious and unconscious. Should be interesting!

Victoria Miro (Stand B3) brings an array of pieces by their established artists who include Chantal Joffe, Idris Khan, Chris Ofili, Grayson Perry, Adriana Varejão and Tal R while paintings by Celia Paul will be displayed in a specially installed room. You may well be inspired by the work of Yayoi Kusama and make a trip to see her exhibition of bronze pumpkins at the gallery’s Wharf Road space.
