Frieze Week London returns from October 15–19 at Regent’s Park, with a rich lineup of off-site exhibitions across the city. Highlights include "Nigerian Modernism" at Tate Modern (October 8, 2025–May 10, 2026), the first UK survey of mid-century Nigerian modern art featuring over 200 works by 50 artists; "Emily Kam Kngwarray" at Tate Modern (through January 11, 2026), Europe’s first major solo show of the Aboriginal artist; "Kerry James Marshall: The Histories" at the Royal Academy of Arts (through January 18, 2026), his largest US exhibition outside the U.S.; and "House of Music" at Serpentine South Gallery (October 10, 2025–February 8, 2026), a multisensory presentation of Peter Doig’s work.
These exhibitions underscore London’s enduring role as a global cultural hub during Frieze Week, drawing attention to underrepresented art histories—such as Nigerian modernism and Aboriginal contemporary art—while celebrating established figures like Kerry James Marshall and Peter Doig. The timing also aligns with the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, amplifying cross-cultural dialogue and reinforcing the city’s appeal to international collectors and art enthusiasts.
