Frieze New York Highlights Local Galleries and Artists in Latest Edition
Frieze’s 12th New York fair and fourth outing at The Shed (until 5 May) is the first edition since the British company acquired the city’s largest art fair, The Armory Show, as well as Expo Chicago.
Reflecting a deepening commitment to New York, more than half of the fair’s 68 exhibitors have a space in the city. Local participants include Tribeca gallery Kapp Kapp and heavyweight Gladstone Gallery, showcasing new works by Alex Katz. The fair’s programming also highlights local non-profits through partnerships with Artists Space, High Line Art, Performance Space New York, and the Art Production Fund.
“We are deepening our investment in non-profits, especially those committed to performance,” says Christine Messineo, Frieze’s director for the Americas.
Blue-chip galleries with New York headquarters and mid-size Manhattan spaces are also returning. Ortuzar Projects is showcasing textile works by Paraguayan artist Feliciano Centurión, tapping into the growing interest in textile-based artists.
International galleries like Stevenson are reconnecting with New York’s art audience, showcasing works from artists across the globe. Frieze aims to support young galleries through initiatives like the Focus sector, easing the financial toll of fair participation.
Galleries like Kapp Kapp are making their Frieze debut with impactful presentations, while other newcomers are also making a mark. The fair contributes to New York’s vibrant cultural landscape with additional events and performances throughout the city.
