Frieze reveals exhibitors for New York fair
Thirty-two local galleries are taking part in the fair, although some heavyweight names are noticeably absent
A new section, “Focus”, is dedicated to galleries that have opened since 2001. Among the participating galleries are seven from New York, including James Fuentes and Alexander Gray Associates.
The independent curator Cecilia Alemani will lead the Frieze Projects and Frieze Talks. Together with the curator Rodrigo Moura, she advised on the selection of galleries in the “Frame” section, which will comprise 20 solo presentations.
The US fair will coincide with New York’s contemporary auction week, and takes place from 4 to 7 May in Randall’s Island Park. Like its London edition, it will be housed in a tent. The structure is being designed by the Brooklyn-based architects SO-IL, a firm founded by the former Sanaa architects Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu.
Frieze Art Fair will celebrate its tenth anniversary in 2012, and Frieze Masters will launch in October to coincide with the fair’s London edition. Taking place in a temporary structure designed by the architect Annabelle Selldorf, it will focus on art made before 2000, from antiquities to 20th-century fine art.
