This year’s Frieze New York will occur from May 1st to the 5th, and Frieze has already released a sneak peek. The show, which returns to The Shed, will include over 60 galleries from 25 different nations. Collaborative collaborations with some of the city’s prominent non-profit arts organisations are among the activations that Frieze New York will use to honour the city as a cultural hub and leader of the worldwide art market. Additionally, fair tickets are currently on sale.
Christine Messineo, Frieze’s Director of Americas, said: “In a city that’s home to an array of outstanding art institutions, galleries and artists, Frieze is pleased to bring together in a single venue a host of exhibitors who represent the finest in contemporary art. Frieze New York will combine a global perspective with a showcase of the city’s exceptional galleries while recognizing non-profit organizations that enrich the diverse arts communities of New York.”
Worldwide Exhibitors
With almost half of this year’s competitors having a presence in New York City, the city’s galleries are well-represented in the 2024 roster. The following galleries and firms are notable exhibitors: 303 Gallery, Miguel Abreu Gallery, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, Chapter NY, Canada, James Cohan, Gagosian, Gladstone Gallery, Alexander Grey Associates, Hauser & Wirth, Casey Kaplan, Karma, Anton Kern, Andrew Kreps Gallery, Matthew Marks Gallery, Ortuzar Projects, Pace Gallery, and David Zwirner. Stevenson, Silverlens, Victoria Miro, Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel, Xavier Hufkens, Gallery Hyundai, Massimodecarlo, Kurimanzutto, and Sprüth Magers are among the international galleries exhibiting at the expo.
Focus Section
Eleven galleries, all part of Frieze’s prestigious youth area, will showcase solo exhibitions by up-and-coming or underappreciated artists at Frieze New York 2024. Four new participants this year—Central Galeria, Kapp Kapp, Madragoa, and Patron—will be overseen for the first time by Lumi Tan, who is the curator, writer, and curatorial director of Luna Luna. Cooper Cole, Tif Sigfrids, Gordon Robichaux, Mitre Galeria, Company Gallery, Matthew Brown, and Capsule Shanghai are all on the roster of participating artists. The continued presence of Focus as a platform for emerging artists is made possible by the generous sponsorship of Stone Island, which, together with Frieze’s previous contributions, allows participating galleries to take part in the show.
Tan said: “This year’s Focus section promotes an expanded definition of discovery that extends beyond age or exposure. In this truly intergenerational group of artists, audiences will recognize innovators who have long represented stories and perspectives overlooked by dominant culture. It’s a thrilling opportunity to bring those who have been steadfast in their position for decades together with younger artists who share throughlines in their artistic and societal concerns.”
Frieze Week New York
A programme of events and activities will be held throughout New York art spaces during Frieze Week, including the opening of major institutional exhibitions: “Arlene Shechet: Girl Group” at Storm King Art Centre, “Mika Tajima: Super Natural” at the Hill Art Foundation, and “Petrit Halilaj’s Roof Garden Commission” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “Hiroshige’s 100 Famous Views of Edo (featuring Takashi Murakami)” at the Brooklyn Museum, “The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism” at the Met, “Joan Jonas: Good Night Good Morning” at MoMA, and Pacita Abad at MoMA PS1 are among the landmark exhibitions that Frieze New York concurrently presents.
Kristell Chadé, Executive Director, Frieze Fairs commented: “Frieze New York provides international leading galleries with a singular platform to present the most exciting artists working today. As organizations throughout the city mobilize around the fair to capture the trailblazing energy of New York’s cultural scene, Frieze Week marks a critical moment for art experts from across the world to convene over ambitious presentations, collaborations and artist projects.”
Frieze Viewing Room
The week prior to the fair, a specialised online Viewing Room will be made available through Frieze, providing attendees with an advance look at the presentations and the chance to remotely interact with the fair.
