Frieze London and Frieze Masters have announced the participating galleries for their 2026 editions, with 172 galleries at Frieze London and 140 at Frieze Masters. Both fairs will run concurrently from October 14–18 in Regent’s Park, London. Frieze London will feature a new section called Code Universe, curated by Carol Yinghua-Liu, exploring contemporary pop culture, while Frieze Masters introduces Queering Modernism, a section focused on LGBTQIA+ art history curated by Anke Kepkes. Notable returning programs include the Artist-to-Artist section, with solo presentations chosen by artists such as Firelei Báez, Jeffrey Gibson, and Yinka Shonibare CBE RA.
The announcements underscore the continued vitality and global reach of the Frieze fairs, which bridge contemporary practice and historical art. The addition of thematic sections like Code Universe and Queering Modernism reflects a broader industry push toward inclusivity and critical engagement with pop culture and queer narratives. With strong representation from London galleries and international heavyweights, the 2026 editions signal Frieze’s role as a key platform for dialogue across generations, disciplines, and geographies.
