Frieze Masters 2021

Across the park, Frieze Masters brings together six millennia of art – from rare antiquities, to Old Master paintings, to luminaries of the 20th century – creating an unmissable destination where visitors can discover or acquire a piece of art history. The fair features major galleries including Acquavella Galleries, Colnaghi, Marian Goodman Gallery, Johnny Van Haeften, Lévy Gorvy, Kukje Gallery, Nahmad Contemporary, Perrotin, Thaddaeus Ropac, Shibunkaku and Skarstedt Gallery, alongside specialists in their field, such as ArtAncient, Gisèle Croës – Arts d’Extrême Orient s.a, Peter Finer, Sam Fogg and Dr. Jörn Günther Rare Books.

Frieze Masters also introduces a new section called Stand Out, curated by Luke Syson (Director of Fitzwilliam Museum), which brings together art objects from across the ages that are great works of design, of sculptural and conceptual brilliance. Stand Out looks beyond hierarchical distinctions between works of art in different media, and in doing so reconsiders art objets often termed ‘decorative’ or ‘functional,’ spotlighting great works of design, of sculptural and conceptual brilliance, using materials that are dazzling and demanding.

The celebrated Spotlight section also returns, dedicated to pioneers of avant-garde art from across the world, overseen by Laura Hoptman (Executive Director of The Drawing Center, New York). Featuring solo presentations of work by overlooked figures and rarely seen practices by modern masters, Spotlight champions a diverse group of artists including: Feliciano Centurión (Cecilia Brunson Projects / Galeria Millan), Beauford Delaney (Michael Rosenfeld Gallery) and Alice Rahon (Gallery Wendi Norris).
