Frieze’s London Fairs Cancelled

The London editions of Frieze are the latest in a series of international art fairs that has had to be canceled because of the pandemic.

This year the London fairs will revert to an online format. Frieze London and Frieze Masters had been scheduled to take place in their temporary structures in Regent’s Park from Oct. 8-11.

The cancellation was due to the “continued unprecedented challenges regarding Covid-19 (coronavirus),” and “following an extended period of consultation with all relevant stakeholders.”

In their email to inform exhibitors, Victoria Siddall (Global Director, Frieze Fairs), Eva Langret (Artistic Director, Frieze London), and Nathan Clements-Gillespie (Artistic Director, Frieze Masters) said, “We simply cannot ask you to participate in such uncertain conditions. Please accept our heartfelt apologies that we could not make this happen.”
