Frieze New York marks its 15th edition from 13-17 May at the Shed, featuring 68 galleries from over 25 countries. The fair includes 57 exhibitors in the main section and 11 in Focus, with nearly half maintaining a New York location. First-time participants include Europa, Sargent’s Daughters, Soft Opening, Ulrik, and W-galería. Latin American representation has grown significantly, with 14 galleries from the region, including Campeche from Mexico City, Isla Flotante from Buenos Aires, and Central from São Paulo. Christine Messineo, Frieze’s director of fairs for the Americas, highlights the fair’s increasingly international scope and the strong Brazilian contingent.
The 15th edition underscores Frieze New York’s evolution into a more globally diverse art fair, reflecting broader shifts in the art market toward emerging regions like Latin America. The expanded international reach matters because it signals resilience in the commercial art sector despite geopolitical instability and market volatility. Messineo points to the recent Frieze Los Angeles as evidence of market eagerness, suggesting that fairs remain vital platforms for discovery and sales even in uncertain economic times.
