Frieze London and Frieze Masters have announced highlights for their 2025 editions, running concurrently October 15–19 in Regent’s Park. Frieze London will feature ceramics and textiles, including a presentation titled “Three Generations of Female California Ceramics” at The Pit, stoneware sculptures by Sanya Kantarovsky at Modern Art, and textile works by Antonio Pichillá Quiacaín at Portas Vilaseca. Major galleries like Gagosian, Pace, Lehmann Maupin, White Cube, and Lisson will present new works by artists such as Lauren Halsey, William Monk, Do Ho Suh, and Marguerite Humeau. The fair’s curated section “Echoes in the Present” by Jareh Das includes artists like Diambe and Tadáskía, while the Focus section emphasizes installation-based works. Frieze Masters highlights include a booth of 19th- and 20th-century paintings curated by Nicolas Party at Hauser & Wirth, a solo of Peter Hujar’s drag portraits at Pace, and a new Reflections section organized by Abby Bangser focusing on decorative art.
This announcement matters because it sets the tone for one of the art world’s most important annual events, showcasing a blend of blue-chip galleries, emerging artists, and thematic curation that reflects London’s global art market position. The inclusion of ceramics, textiles, and decorative art signals a broadening of medium focus, while the new Reflections section at Frieze Masters highlights growing interest in historical decorative objects. The fair’s emphasis on diverse geographic representation—with participants from over 20 countries—and artist-led initiatives underscores ongoing trends toward inclusivity and cross-cultural dialogue in the contemporary art market.
