festival-fair · 2026-04-26

Directed by Eva Langret, the 2025 Frieze London showcases prominent galleries such as Gagosian, Pace, Zwirner, and Hauser & Wirth at the back, alongside a new segment titled 'Echoes in the Present' that emphasizes the African and South American diaspora. The fair encourages galleries to embrace risk, navigating the challenges posed by post-Brexit conditions and Art Basel's Paris launch. Featured highlights include works by Lauren Halsey at Gagosian, a presentation by Victoria Miro featuring Grayson Perry, Paula Rego, and Barbara Walker, and Stephen Friedman's stand celebrating 30 years with Sarah Ball. Other significant displays feature Lee Bae, William Monk, Daniel Crews-Chubb, and a selection curated by Franco Noero, while Modern Art presents Sanya Kantarovsky's ceramics. Strong sales are anticipated.
