Tag: Frieze Masters

Frieze Masters was founded in 2012 by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover. Nathan Clements-Gillespie is the Director of Frieze Masters.  

Frieze Masters offers a unique contemporary perspective on thousands of years of art history, from collectible objects to significant masterpieces from the ancient era and Old Masters to the late 20th century. 

The fair takes place in The Regent’s Park in the heart of London, in an elegant, contemporary environment designed by renowned architect Annabelle Selldorf, benefiting from natural light and avoiding the atmosphere of a trade show. World-leading independent curators advise on feature sections for 20th-century art and focussed presentations of historical art and objects. 

The relationship between historical art and contemporary practice is further explored through the acclaimed Frieze Masters Talks programme.

Studio, focus is the artist’s place of making, where the spark of invention becomes manifest as an object.  

Frieze Masters presents work made before the year 2000. Each year there are 60,000 visitors combined. These visitors include those with an interest in the art world, such as curators, artists, collectors, gallerists and critics, as well as the general public. Some visit as first-time collectors of art whilst others view the fair more as an exhibition, enjoying the experience as a cultural day out.
