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.

michael werner second new york gallery sanya kantarovsky 1234740459

Michael Werner Gallery is expanding rather than contracting, opening a second New York space on the Upper East Side at 1018 Madison Avenue, just around the corner from its original location at 4 East 77th Street. The new venue was secured after the building housing the original gallery went up for sale, prompting partner Gordon VeneKlasen to search for alternatives. The inaugural exhibition features Sanya Kantarovsky, who is also joining the gallery's roster, with a two-part show titled "Scarecrow" opening May 7. The expansion was designed by architect Annabelle Selldorf, who previously worked with the gallery in 1989.
