About Frieze London & Frieze Masters
Founded in 2003 by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, Frieze London has become one of the world’s most influential contemporary art fairs, dedicated exclusively to living artists and innovative practices. Directed by Eva Langret, the fair takes place each October in Regent’s Park, at the heart of London’s cultural landscape.
The 2025 edition introduces an innovative new floor plan by A Studio Between, reimagining the layout and entrance to highlight key sections such as Artist-to-Artist and the thematic exhibition Echoes in the Present.
“Frieze London and Frieze Masters capture the spirit of discovery at the heart of Frieze,” says Kristell Chadé, Executive Director of Frieze Fairs. “Together, they reaffirm Frieze Week as an unmissable cultural moment, where historical and contemporary art engage in an intense, living dialogue.”
For art lovers, collectors, curators, and design enthusiasts, Frieze Week London 2025 stands as the most anticipated chapter of the global art calendar — a vibrant intersection of innovation, heritage, and creative exchange.
Frieze London 2025: The Pulse of Contemporary Culture
At the forefront of the fair’s international programming, Frieze London brings together over 160 world-leading galleries, presenting a bold and diverse range of contemporary artists who are defining the visual language of our time.
Among the London-based exhibitors shaping the city’s creative identity are Sadie Coles HQ, Lisson Gallery, Victoria Miro, Maureen Paley, and Stephen Friedman Gallery — alongside global powerhouses such as Gagosian, Pace Gallery, White Cube, Perrotin, David Zwirner, Thaddaeus Ropac, and Lehmann Maupin.
This year’s edition deepens its commitment to supporting artists who challenge and inspire, reflecting London’s role as a global hub of cultural experimentation and curatorial innovation.
According to Eva Langret, Director of Frieze EMEA:
“Frieze London 2025 champions the artists shaping the future of contemporary art. Inspired by London’s creative pulse, the fair celebrates bold ideas and reaffirms the city’s status as a globally recognized center of contemporary culture.”
Artist-to-Artist: A Dialogue of Voices
Returning as one of the fair’s most anticipated highlights, the Artist-to-Artist section embodies Frieze’s spirit of collaboration and creative mentorship. Six solo presentations have been curated by internationally renowned artists, each selecting an emerging voice whose practice resonates with their own.
Highlights include:
- Ilana Harris-Babou (Dreamsong), nominated by Camille Henrot
- Katherine Hubbard (Company Gallery), nominated by Nicole Eisenman
- Ana Segovia (Kurimanzutto), nominated by Abraham Cruzvillegas
- Neal Tait (Lungley Gallery), nominated by Chris Ofili
- René Treviño (Erin Cluley Gallery), nominated by Amy Sherald
- T. Venkanna (Gallery Maskara), nominated by Bharti Kher
Through this intimate curatorial exchange, the fair honors the artist’s role not only as a creator but also as a mentor, advocate, and visionary collaborator — a reflection of Frieze’s enduring commitment to dialogue across generations and geographies.
Echoes in the Present: Curated by Jareh Das
The special project “Echoes in the Present,” curated by Jareh Das, explores the artistic connections between Brazil and Africa, as well as their diasporas, tracing shared histories of displacement, exchange, and transformation.
The exhibition brings together artists such as Bunmi Agusto, Serigne Mbaye Camara, Diambe, Naomi Lulendo, Aline Motta, and Tadáskía, creating a powerful visual narrative that interlaces memory, material, and migration.
It’s a profound reflection on how contemporary art can reveal the layered textures of identity and belonging — themes that echo across cultures, continents, and centuries.

Frieze Masters 2025: Art Across 6,000 Years
While Frieze London celebrates the avant-garde, Frieze Masters bridges the gap between past and present. Under the direction of Emanuela Tarizzo, the 2025 edition presents masterpieces that span antiquity to the 20th century, inviting collectors to rediscover the timeless power of artistic heritage.
“From ancient art to modern icons, Frieze Masters offers works that transcend time and space,” Tarizzo notes. “This edition is shaped by history yet alive with new perspectives — a dialogue between the classical and the contemporary.”
With its curated exhibitions and Frieze Masters Talks, the fair continues to be a place where art history breathes anew, offering a unique journey through epochs, aesthetics, and ideas.
