In a week where warm weather, rain, wind, and more rain swept across Regent’s Park, Frieze London’s 20th edition saw consistently strong crowds and busy booths across the course of the fair. Hailed as the most international edition of the fair to date, more than 200 exhibitors from six continents took part in Frieze London and Frieze Masters this year, with some 28 participants now showing for the 20th consecutive year.
For a London art market that is clouded in uncertainty, early nerves on the VIP day were abated by strong presentations by exhibitors across the concourse. A strong showing from celebrities and major collectors also helped to add a touch of star power, with names such as Emily Blunt, Kim Cattrall, Jarvis Cocker, Giancarlo Esposito, Bella Freud, Andrew Garfield, Dan Levy, Mabel, Rami Malek, Sam Mendes, Sienna Miller, Andy Murray, and FKA Twigs among those spotted across the fair.
