Frieze Sculpture will return to The Regent’s Park this September, bringing together 11 international artists for the 14th edition of the free public art exhibition that transforms the park’s English Gardens into one of London’s largest outdoor sculpture displays.
Opening on 16th September and running until 1st November 2026, the exhibition has once again been curated by Fatos Üstek, who returns for a fourth consecutive year. Timed ahead of Frieze London and Frieze Masters in October, the annual exhibition continues to extend the fair into the public realm, inviting visitors to experience contemporary sculpture in one of London’s most visited green spaces.
This year’s edition explores ideas of hybridity, bringing together works that merge materials, cultural references and artistic traditions while responding to the landscape of Regent’s Park. Rather than presenting sculpture as isolated objects, the exhibition encourages visitors to see each work as part of a wider network connecting people, histories and the natural environment.
The participating artists are Ivana Bašic, Carolina Aguirre, Matyáš Chochola, Conrad Shawcross, Angel Otero, Douglas White, Elena Nemkova, Özlem Günyol & Mustafa Kunt, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, Tarini Sethi and Catriona Robertson, with new commissions and recent works presented by leading international galleries.
Among the highlights are Angel Otero’s Dreams and Salt, a threshold-like form that appears to disappear beneath the landscape; Ivana Bašic’s monumental Metanoia; Tarini Sethi’s intricate stainless-steel screens depicting imagined utopian scenes; and Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran’s vividly coloured dual-faced idol. Together, the works reflect the exhibition’s focus on sculpture as an evolving, adaptive language.
Fatos Üstek said:
“Frieze Sculpture returns to The Regent’s Park with a heightened awareness of the hybrid world we inhabit: one in which cultures continually inform one another, artistic mediums merge to generate new forms, and social life is shaped both online and in person. We invite visitors to step outside the rhythms of everyday life and into the park, where artistic propositions open up new ways of thinking and feeling. Through materials, references and critical engagements with history, myth, ritual and forms of belonging, the works illuminate hybridity not as a condition to be explained, but as a reality to be experienced.”
Eva Langret, Director of EMEA at Frieze, added:
“Frieze Sculpture is one of the most open and immediate ways to experience Frieze in London. For seven weeks, the exhibition brings artists, galleries and audiences together in the Regent’s Park, extending the energy of the fairs into the public realm and inviting people to encounter art as part of everyday life.”
Alongside the exhibition, Frieze will once again offer free curator-led tours, while Bloomberg Connects returns as the official digital guide with an audio tour narrated by Üstek. For the first time, the guide will also include a dedicated family trail designed to help younger audiences engage with the artworks.
Frieze Sculpture also forms part of the second London Sculpture Week (19th–27th September), joining the Fourth Plinth, East Bank, Sculpture in the City and The Line in a city-wide celebration of public art.
