Frieze Week And Alternative Satellite Art Fair Guide 2014

Frieze Week London

Artlyst is excited to announce the release of their essential, online, Frieze week alternative satellite art fair guide, for London 2014. The main fair and collateral offspring launch the week of 12 October, with the main fair opening to the public on the 15th October. Each year our capital is over-run with the international art crowd, who flock to this once a year cultural phenomenon. Frieze and Frieze Masters promises to showcase an up to date overview of the current art market allowing art lovers to pay homage to the best (and some of the worst) in visual art.  Like Art Basel and Art Basel Miami these fairs make no bones about being massive art trade shows. The galleries involved are there to sell and this year the main Frieze fair showcases 160 of the worlds leading contemporary art galleries. What ever you do don’t miss the smaller art fairs and events that are springing up like dandelions all around the capital next week.

New for 2014 is a restructuring of the sections at Frieze for participating galleries. Also the organisers are introducing ‘Live’, a showcase for performance-based installations dispersed throughout the fair. Frieze can be a fantastic place to discover new and challenging artists, whether you are a serious collector or searching to enrich your knowledge about the established and the emerging. This is a one-stop destination. As well as the endless parties, satellite fairs, exhibitions and solo shows, there is actually a huge amount of quality content to wash down with your Prosecco.
