Frieze Masters, the fair for ancient to modern art, returns to London for its fourth edition in 2015 alongside the contemporary Frieze London from October 14-18 in the Regent’s Park with a lineup of 131 leading modern and historical galleries showcasing a wide variety of works spanning antiquities, Asian art, ethnographic art, illuminated manuscripts, Medieval, modern and post-war, Old Masters and 19th-century, photography, sculpture, and Wunderkammer
This year’s fair introduces a new Collections section. Curated by Sir Norman Rosenthal, each of the eight presentations by individual dealers “contain within them germs of ideas for exhibitions,” according to Sir Rosenthal. Highlights include a collection of rare wooden Egyptian sculpture, including a large and exceptional example from the Fifth Dynasty (2500–2400 BC) (Sycomore Ancient Art, London); as well as a display of 40 pieces of fine Italian maiolica (Bazaart, London).
Dedicated to solo presentations of 20th-century art, the Spotlight section is curated for the first time in 2015 by Clara M Kim, formerly Senior Curator at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and Director/Curator of the Gallery at REDCAT in Los Angeles. Artists being showcased include Wanda Pimentel (Anita Schwartz Galeria de Arte, Rio de Janeiro), Keiichi Tanaami (Nanzuka, Tokyo), Jess (Anglim Gilbert Gallery, San Francisco), and Ana Lupas (P420, Bologna).
