The Art Fund Curators Programme at Frieze Mastersįor the first time, Frieze Masters and Art Fund will host a curators programme at Frieze Masters, bringing leading US curators to meet and exchange ideas with their UK counterparts through a talk, workshop and tour. Once again we will see galleries from different fields collaborate on ground-breaking presentations, as the fair continues to offer new models for looking at and collecting art.’ Curators play an important role in this fair as well as in our contemporary fairs, and this year we welcome Tim Marlow (Director of Artistic Programmes, Royal Acad-emy, London) who is co-curating Frieze Masters Talks, and Toby Kamps of the Menil Collection in Houston who is presenting his first edition of Spotlight. I am looking forward to seeing even more antiquities dealers in the fair, as well as Indian art, alongside the best Old Masters and 20th-century work. Victoria Siddall, Director of Frieze Fairs said, ‘The quality and breadth of work in Frieze Masters keeps it fresh and exciting each year. Coinciding with the contemporary fair Frieze London, as well as the Frieze Sculpture Park, the two fairs form the heart of Frieze Week – an international cultural event in early October which includes special programmes mounted by galleries and museums across London. For the first time, the fair will host a Reading Room with hourly events, alongside the celebrated Frieze Masters Talks programme. The quality and diversity of the 2016 fair is further strengthened through Frieze’s collaborations with leading international curators, including Toby Kamps (The Menil Collection, Houston), Clare Lilley (Yorkshire Sculpture Park), Tim Marlow (Royal Academy, London) and Sir Norman Rosenthal (independent curator), who have created sections and programmes dedicated to artistic discovery and connoisseurship.įrieze Masters is supported by main sponsor Deutsche Bank for the fifth consecutive year, with Gucci as Associate Sponsor and sponsor of Frieze Masters Talks.Įncompassing expertly vetted art and antiquities from the ancient era to Old Masters to the late 20th century, Frieze Masters presents dynamic juxtapositions of period and genre, fostering new discoveries across art history.
