Sydney Contemporary 2025 will debut a new photography section called Photo Sydney, curated by Sandy Edwards and selected by a committee of experts. The fair runs September 11–14 at Carriageworks with 114 exhibitors. Separately, Jack Ball won the AUD 100,000 Ramsay Art Prize for their installation 'Heavy Grit' at the Art Gallery of South Australia. KIAF Seoul 2025 announced its gallery lineup, featuring 176 exhibitors from over 20 countries, running September 4–7 alongside Frieze Seoul.
These developments highlight the growing demand for dedicated photography platforms in art fairs, with Sydney Contemporary responding directly to collector interest. The Ramsay Art Prize continues to support young Australian artists, with Ball's work addressing queer and trans histories through innovative mixed media. KIAF Seoul's expansion and alignment with Frieze Seoul underscore the strengthening of the Asian art market and the increasing internationalization of Korean art fairs.
