The Frieze Art Fair is the moment when every museum, gallery and fashion flagship brings out their big art guns. Cue blockbuster exhibitions like African American icon Kerry James Marshall at the Royal Academy of Arts or Dover Street Market transforming their windows with the work of historic painter Georgia O’Keefe. The contemporary art fair itself continues, however, to be a place of fresh energy and creative discovery.
Frieze week first began in London in 2003. The art world was a quieter place then, slowly emerging from the YBA shock era and the big millennial projects like the Tate Modern. The baby of art magazine Frieze, it has slowly transformed London.
