The annual Frieze Art Fair is back; on October 13th through October 16th, 2011, the Regent’s Park in Westminster, in London, will host the event. With major exhibitors from New York, Madrid, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Sao Paolo, Warsaw, and London, there will be an abundance of items to see and to buy. The Frieze Art Fair will display new and experienced artists to the international audience, to include custom-built artists' projects, an artist-led education program, talks, debates and many more.

The Frieze Art Fair brings an international focus to the dynamic contemporary art scene in London, selecting the most forward-thinking galleries from around the globe. These galleries will present outstanding art work from well over 1,000 of the world’s most innovative artists.

The energy of galleries from emerging territories, such as Asia and South America, is contrasted by a strong European and American contingent.

Frame, a section of the fair that focuses on galleries established less than six years ago, features a number of galleries that have not previously benefitted from an international platform to show their work; 21 of the 25 galleries in this section are new to the fair. Significant this year is the strong Latin-American showing in this section with presentations including: Ignacio Liprandi Arte Contemporaneo (Argentina), showing Pablo Accinelli; Revolver (Peru), showing Ximena Garrido-Lecca; Casas Riegner Gallery (Columbia), showing Bernardo Ortiz. Frame is an area where visitors can discover artists for the first time; the Frame galleries’ selection has been advised by curators Cecilia Alemani and Rodrigo Moura, and supported by Cos.

Co-directors Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover stated this year they are happy to work with architect Carmody Groarke, who have proposed an intelligent redesign of the fair. The geographical diversity of the gallery list confirms that art is becoming part of the globalization process, offering the opportunity to make discoveries, as well as see work, by some of the most significant artists working today.

Details of the curatorial program Frieze Projects, Frieze Talks, Frieze Film and Frieze Education will be announced during the coming months.

In previous years Frieze Projects has presented new commissions by artists including Spartacus Chetwynd, Mike Nelson, Richard Prince, Paola Pivi and Nick Relph. Frieze Talks has included keynotes by John Baldessari, Dave Hickey, Yoko Ono and Bridget Riley. This year, Frieze Projects is curated by Sarah McCrory under the auspices of Frieze Foundation and supported by the Emdash Foundation.

The Outset/Frieze Art Fair Fund to benefit the Tate Collection continues in 2011, the ninth consecutive year of the collaboration. This unique collaboration allows Tate to buy important works of art for the nation at Frieze Art Fair. The fund to date has raised over £900,000 and, as a result, 83 works by 53 significant international artists have been added to Tate’s collection since 2003.
