Frieze Talks 2016

Featuring Marlene Dumas, Gabriele Finaldi, Philippe Parreno, Alastair Sooke,Sheena Wagstaff and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Frieze Masters Talks explores the history of art and its significance in contemporary practice. The programme is co-curated for the first time by Tim Marlow (Artistic Director, Royal Academy of Arts) and Jennifer Higgie (frieze & Frieze Masters Magazine).

What place does contemporary art have in historical museums – and vice versa? What role do fashion and gesture play in historical painting? Why did many giants of Western art – from Titian to Bourgeois – produce their most exciting work deep into old age? Taking place daily in the fair auditorium, this year’s programme will feature panel discussions exploring these questions, alongside intimate conversations between the world’s leading artists and curators.
