Frieze has announced over 280 exhibitors for its October fairs in London, with around 160 galleries at Frieze London and 120 at Frieze Masters, running concurrently in Regent's Park from October 15 to 19. In auction news, the original Hermès Birkin bag prototype will be sold at Sotheby's Paris on July 10, and Bonhams has appointed Celine Assimon as chief commercial officer. Galleries saw significant moves: Christian Deydier in Paris is closing due to new EU regulations on imported cultural objects, while Carroll Dunham joined Matthew Brown, Cristina Iglesias signed with Hauser and Wirth, and several other artists changed representation. Meanwhile, Tate Liverpool received £12 million in UK government funding plus philanthropic support for its redevelopment, the Royal Academy of Arts named Simon Wallis as its new secretary and chief executive, and the Whitney Museum suspended its Independent Study Program for a year after controversy over censorship of a pro-Palestine performance. The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation made three new appointments, and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris faces eviction.

In an interview with artnet News, the couple discusses their contrasting work habits—Dunham works steadily over long periods, while Simmons works in intense, episodic bursts—and how they have balanced their careers and family life, including raising daughters Lena Dunham and Grace Dunham.
