frieze london preview 2025 1234756143

The 23rd edition of Frieze London opens next Wednesday with its VIP preview in Regent's Park, featuring 168 galleries from 43 countries. The fair arrives amid a subdued art market, with dealers favoring conservative, recognizable works by established names rather than betting on younger artists. Notable presentations include Modern Art showing Sanya Kantarovsky's stoneware sculptures, Lehmann Maupin presenting Do Ho Suh's translucent installations, and Gagosian featuring Lauren Halsey's sculptural tribute to South Central Los Angeles. Hauser & Wirth highlights rising star George Rouy alongside other artists, while White Cube focuses on the natural world with works by Marguerite Humeau, Howardena Pindell, and Sara Flores.

Frieze London 2025 opened with strong VIP preview sales, as major galleries reported brisk business by early afternoon. Thaddaeus Ropac sold a Robert Rauschenberg work for $850,000 and a Tony Cragg sculpture for $420,000, while Hauser & Wirth moved multiple pieces including a George Rouy for £275,000 and an Ellen Gallagher for $950,000. Gagosian sold a new Lauren Halsey sculpture before noon, and White Cube reported six sales. The fair's layout, which places mega-galleries at the back to encourage foot traffic to smaller booths, returned by popular demand.

George Rouy Bends Flesh and Bone in 'Shadowing'

British artist George Rouy has opened a solo exhibition titled 'SHADOWING' at Almine Rech's venue in Château de Boisgeloup, Gisors, France, running through November 23. The show is staged inside Pablo Picasso's former sculpture studio and features new paintings that explore the tension and flux of the human body, with figures emerging and dissolving in bruise-colored palettes and expressive brushwork. The exhibition is supported by Hannah Barry Gallery and Hauser & Wirth.

Big Galleries Are Racing to Sign Emerging Artists. It’s Changing Everything

Major blue-chip galleries like Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, Pace, and White Cube are increasingly signing emerging artists earlier in their careers, bypassing the traditional trajectory where young artists would first develop with smaller galleries over many years. Examples include George Rouy joining Hauser & Wirth at age 30, Pam Evelyn joining Pace at 27, and Sasha Gordon joining David Zwirner in 2024. This shift comes amid a contracting art market where aggregate dealer sales fell 6% between 2023 and 2024, while smaller galleries with turnover under $250,000 saw sales grow 17%. Ultra-contemporary auction sales dropped 37.9% in the same period, signaling a cooling of speculative buying.
