Frieze revealed highlights for both Frieze London and Frieze Masters 2022. Together, the two events bring together galleries from 42 countries, presenting art across the ages, from ancient and old masters to modern classics and the contemporary. Featuring some of the most exciting artists working today, as well as expertly curated selections from art history, both Frieze London and Frieze Masters will celebrate the depth and breadth of London’s creative community.
Taking place from 12-16 October in London’s The Regent’s Park, Frieze London and Frieze Masters are supported by global lead partner Deutsche Bank, continuing a shared commitment to artistic excellence. Eva Langret, Director of Frieze London said, ‘So many of our participating galleries are planning ambitious solo presentations and curated shows that really promise to stimulate, delight and challenge – and I am so excited to see such a diversity of talent all under one roof. Frieze Week also promises to be a major draw, with truly unmissable exhibitions across the city in both galleries and museums. This year’s fairs really reflect our commitment to celebrating the creative life of London.’
Nathan Clements-Gillespie, Director of Frieze Masters added, ‘Following the stellar launch of Frieze Masters in Seoul, we can’t wait to be back in London to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Once again, we will see Frieze Masters’ signature formula of showcasing the very best art throughout the ages. In addition, I am so looking forward to the discoveries that the fair provides each year – particularly in our Spotlight section, curated in 2022 by Camille Morineau and the AWARE team. Beyond the fair, Frieze Masters’ presence will be felt throughout the city – with our talks programme taking place in galleries and museums throughout London for everyone to enjoy.’
The much-celebrated Spotlight section of the fair is this year curated by Camille Morineau and the AWARE team. Featuring 26 solo presentations by female artists of the 20th century, the section will draw attention to previously overlooked names and allow a reconsideration of recent history. Highlights include:
Ab-Anbar will present a solo show of works by Iranian artist Sonia Balassanian
DAG will showcase paintings by self-taught Indian artist Madhvi Parekh
Dirimart will present pioneering modernist Fahrelnissa Zeid, bringing together works that link the artist’s figurative and abstract periods
The Gallery of Everything will present works by Sister Gertrude Morgan, whose work was featured in this year’s Venice Biennale
kó will show rarely-seen work by leading Nigerian artist Nike Davies-Okundaye, featuring embroidery, batik, weaving, patchwork, painting, and mixed media dating from the 1960s to the 1980s
Loeve&Co will focus on Surrealist artist Leonor Fini, bringing together an extended selection of drawings, works on canvas and sculpture, set against the artist’s iconic 1946 Lendemain de fête wallpaper
Pace Gallery will debut Mary Corse’s The Cold Room (1968/2022), showing this iconic work for the first time in Europe. Bringing Corse’s celebrated Light & Space practice into three-dimensions, The Cold Room is a full body, multisensorial experience
Food and Drink
Frieze London and Frieze Masters will once again host pop-ups from the city’s best restaurants, cafés and bars. New to Frieze London is Marleybone’s Jikoni, a vegetarian restaurant that celebrates ‘no borders’ cooking, alongside Frieze favourites Petersham Nurseries Covent Garden, Australia’s oldest family owned winery Yalumba Bar, acclaimed Soho restaurant Rita’s and Company Drinks. At Frieze Masters, Londonbased seafood restaurant Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill makes its debut, alongside celebrated British brasserie Ham Yard Restaurant and Michelin-starred chef Skye Gyngell’s Heckfield Place x Spring. Gail’s Bakery returns to both fairs.
Partners and Collaborations
Deutsche Bank
Deutsche Bank is the Global Lead Partner for Frieze Art Fairs. 2022 marks the 19th consecutive year they have supported the fair in a partnership that has strengthened and developed over time. Works by Shezad Dawood will feature in the Deutsche Bank Wealth Management Lounges at Frieze and on Frieze Viewing Room. The works, consisting of neons, painting, sculpture, and virtual reality, delve into themes of climate change, migration and mental health using a combination of fact and science fiction.
Commenting on his works in the lounge, Dawood said: ‘One of the aims of my installation, in the Deutsche Bank Lounges at Frieze, is to generate discussion around the oceans and to challenge us as a collective humanity to become aware of our interdependencies with the planet and the species we inhabit it with.’
In addition, the next installment of Art:LIVE, a longstanding video series filmed on the opening day of the fair will include interviews with key artworld figures and providing in-depth encounters with significant artworks.
BMW Open Work Commission 2022
Curated by Attilia Fattori Franchini ‘BMW Open Work by Frieze’ invites an artist to develop an ambitious project utilizing BMW design and technology to pursue their practice in innovative new directions. For the 2022 commission, artist Nikita Gale will present 63/22, a sculptural installation comprising a series of electric guitars imagined in collaboration with BMW i7 designers and activated by live performances in the lounge.
Breguet
Breguet will present a specially commissioned artwork by the artist Pablo Bronstein, continuing his panoramic installation series launched at Frieze New York in May, followed by Frieze Seoul in September.
The third iteration for London will reference the art of watchmaking’s endurance since the industrial revolution, whereby visitors will witness Bronstein’s artistic vision. The work will be displayed alongside historical watches from Breguet’s archives, as well as new timepieces from their collections. An artisan from Breguet’s workshop will also be present at the booth performing guillochage demonstrations.
Maison Ruinart
This year for Frieze London, Maison Ruinart has given carte blanche to Jeppe Hein, who will translate his first impressions of Ruinart’s terroir into fragments of matter and emotion that both awaken senses and touch hearts, while placing each of us at the centre of a delightful participatory experience. A collective experience that is unique each time. An artistic installation to live RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
La Prairie
At Frieze London, La Prairie will highlight emerging women artists, inviting five young female artists to create digital works inspired by the codes of Bauhaus. The Women Bauhaus Collective by La Prairie celebrates the legacy of the women in Bauhaus and empowers greater equity for future generations of talent.
As part of the collective, Talia Golchin, a London-based artist and recent graduate of Central Saint Martins, has created a digital sculpture entitled „Euphoria“, inspired by the synergy of the body, mind and the universe. A physical representation of „Euphoria“ will be on display within the La Prairie lounge at Frieze London.
LG
Frieze’s global partner LG will join Frieze London with an LG OLED lounge imagined by German sculptor Tobias Rehberger.
Saint Laurent
This year at Frieze, Saint Laurent will build on their commitment to supporting creativity in all its different forms and expression by exhibiting artists selected by Creative Director, Anthony Vaccarello.
Frieze Viewing Room
Continuing the collaboration launched earlier this year, Frieze Viewing Room will once again work with Vortic, the art world’s leading virtual reality platform, employing cutting-edge immersive technology to create VR spaces. These spaces will be integrated within the Frieze Viewing Room platform and viewable on Oculus VR headsets.

Frieze Masters 2022 entrusts Spotlight to Camille Morineau and AWARE
The renowned Spotlight section of Frieze Masters, made up of solo presentations of the pioneers of avant-garde art from all around the world, will celebrate its 10th anniversary in October 2022 at Regent’s Park. To mark this occasion, Camille Morineau (co-founder and Research Director of AWARE – Archives of Women Artists, Research, and Exhibitions) and AWARE have been invited to curate this special section, dedicated to women artists.
Frieze Week London will return to Regent’s Park between October 12th and 16th 2022. This year, for a Spotlight dedicated to pioneering women artists of the 20th century, Frieze Masters has called on AWARE, an association which has been working, since its creation in 2014, to shed light on women artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. The section, curated in collaboration with Matylda Taszycka, Head of AWARE’s Research Programme, and Eléonore Besse, Research Programmes Assistant, will present major modern masters as well as highlight the work of artists who are still little known, showing that galleries are today at the forefront of the rediscovery of, and research on, women artists. Artists featured will include Orlan, Nike Davies-Okundaye, Leonor Fini, Sylvia Snowden, Wook-kyung Choi and Sonia Balassanian.
In all, 26 artists born between 1900 and 1951 will be foregrounded by as many galleries from around the world, presenting half a century of art history in a new light. AWARE will bring together artists with practices linked to specific artistic movements and currents and more singular styles and techniques. The section takes into account the recent attributions and insertions of certain artists in historical movements and avant-gardes and reveals the echoes between the practices of artists across diverse geographies: an engaged approach directly related to AWARE’s primary mission of championing women artists from around the world through the dissemination of free and bilingual content on the association’s website.
Through this series of solo presentations, AWARE seeks to highlight the singularity of each artist, whilst outlining their common commitments. While some stands will question the way in which women artists deconstruct the body, rethinking its representation through drawing, collage, and photomontage, others will present a range of different types of abstract, geometric, or gestural art, even going beyond pictorial practice.
«We are honoured to be the curators of Frieze Masters Spotlight 2022. This is a prestigious and particularly special partnership this year, as the section will be exclusively dedicated to women artists. This is a unique opportunity to increase the visibility and presence of women artists whose artistic careers have not been fully celebrated and it is in line with AWARE’s primary ambition to rewrite the history of art in a more equal way » says Camille Morineau, AWARE’s co-founder and Research Director.
Camille Morineau, heritage curator and art historian specialising in women artists is the co-founder and Director of Research at AWARE (Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions). She is President of the Board of Directors of the École du Louvre and was promoted to Chevalière de la Légion d’honneur in January 2020.
With degrees from both the École normale supérieure and the Institut national du patrimoine, Camille Morineau has worked for twenty years in public cultural institutions in France, including ten years as curator of the contemporary collections at the Musée national d’Art moderne – Centre Georges-Pompidou (Paris). She curated numerous exhibitions there, including Yves Klein (2006), Gerhard Richter (2012), Roy Lichtenstein (2013), and the hanging elles@centrepompidou (2009-2011) dedicated solely to female artists from the collections of the Musée national d’Art moderne. She has also curated several exhibitions as an independent curator, including Niki de Saint Phalle at RMN – Grand Palais (Paris, 2014) and Guggenheim Bilbao (2016), Ceramix: From Rodin to Schütte, about the use of ceramics by artists of the 20th and 21st century, at Bonnefanten Museum Maastricht (2015) and La maison rouge, Fondation Antoine de Galbert, with Manufacture de Sèvres (Paris, 2016). From 2016 to October 2019, she was the director of exhibitions and collections at Monnaie de Paris, where she curated the following exhibitions: Women House, also shown at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington (2017-2018), Floor-naments, an exhibition marking the 40th anniversary of the Centre Pompidou (2017), Subodh Gupta (2018), Thomas Schütte (2019), Kiki Smith (2019-2020).
In 2021, Camille Morineau curated the first French retrospective of Françoise Pétrovitch at the Fonds Hélène & Édouard Leclerc in Landerneau, Brittany. In 2022, she co-curated Pionnières with Lucia Pesapane at the musée du Luxembourg in Paris.
Since its creation in 2014, AWARE has worked to make women artists of the 19th and 20th century visible by producing and posting free bilingual (French/English) content about their work on its website.
The biographies published online largely originate from the Dictionnaire universel des créatrices (Universal dictionary of female creators), published in 2013 thanks to a partnership with the Éditions des Femmes – Antoinette Fouque. The website’s database brings together women artists born between 1790 and 1972, working in the field of visual arts, with no limitations on medium or country. The partnerships developed with museums, universities and art historians, as well as with sponsors and cultural events in France and abroad have contributed to the development of AWARE’s online database, updated weekly with new artist profiles and research articles.
Special attention is also paid to the accessibility of quality information. Thematic courses on major art history subjects, animated series for children, and podcasts all offer entertaining ways to discover or better understand the lives and work of women artists.
In order to widely disseminate research on women artists, AWARE organises symposia, round tables and seminars in France and abroad in collaboration with universities and museums. It also participates in various fairs and biennials around the world in order to increase the visibility and presence of women artists (Art Paris Art Fair, The Armory Show in New York, etc.).
In order to pay tribute both to women whose artistic careers have not been fully celebrated and to promote artistic creation, each year the AWARE Prizes for Women Artists are presented in partnership with France’s Ministry of Culture to one mid-career and one long-established artist.
AWARE also gives a voice to women artists not only by supporting their production through open calls for projects, but also through book-length interviews, as is the case for the AWARE Outstanding Merit Prize winners.
AWARE publishes its own publications: events organised by the association, such as symposia and seminars, have been edited into books. The transcriptions are accessible on its website and printed on demand.
Bibliographic resources on women artists and feminist art are also available. A certain number of these resources are available for consultation by appointment at AWARE’s Documentation Centre in Paris – which contains more than 3000 books – as well as online.
To accompany it in its missions, AWARE has set up and coordinates two types of networks throughout the world:
TEAM: Teaching, e-learning, Agency, Mentoring is an international academic network, coordinated by Maura Reilly, whose goal is to collect and publish resources on women artists produced by academics. It allows AWARE to enrich its website, with priority given to geographical areas which are still under-represented, and to support the training of a new generation of art historians sensitive to gender issues and the place of women artists.
AMIS: AWARE Museum Initiative and Support is the first initiative that brings together museums from around the world to collect and share research on women artists produced for exhibitions and acquisitions.

Frieze London and Frieze Masters 2022 To Show Ambitious Curated Programme
Highlights include special artist projects, with Emma Talbot at Frieze London and Tyler Mitchell for Frieze Masters
Frieze Masters Talks to feature speakers: Kamala Ibrahim Ishag, Anthea Hamilton, Andra Ursuța, and more, celebrating the fair’s tenth anniversary
Frieze detailed further programming highlights for Frieze London and Frieze Masters 2022, which both take place from 12 to 16 October in the Regent’s Park, London. Central to this year’s line-up are two special artist projects with Emma Talbot showing at Frieze London and Tyler Mitchell at Frieze Masters. Frieze Masters Talks will once again be curated by Dr. Nicholas Cullinan (Director of National Portrait Gallery) and feature major names such as Kamala Ibrahim Ishag, Anthea Hamilton and Andra Ursuța. Key institutional-led initiatives for 2022 include the Contemporary Art Society’s Collections Fund; Camden Art Centre Emerging Artist Prize at Frieze and the Frieze Tate Fund supported by Endeavor.
Frieze London and Frieze Masters are supported by global lead partner Deutsche Bank, continuing a shared commitment to artistic excellence.
Eva Langret, Director of Frieze London said: ‘The 2022 edition of Frieze London will continue the fair’s commitment to presenting ambitious artist-led projects with major new works from Emma Talbot and Abbas Zahedi. Another highlight, this year’s curated section, Indra’s Net will give a platform to Sandhini Poddar’s remarkable curatorial vision and tackle pressing ideas around our relationship to one another and to land. The programme will showcase the heart of the London art scene, while also foregrounding artistic discovery and expanded geographic horizons, showcasing the work of artists from Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Ecuador and Peru among others.’
Nathan Clements-Gillespie added: ‘This year, we celebrate the tenth anniversary of Frieze Masters and I am delighted by our appropriately stellar line-up, including a major milestone by Tyler Mitchell, which marks the first time a contemporary work has featured in the fair. A central tenet of Frieze Masters has been to provide a contemporary perspective on the historical and Tyler’s project, a portfolio of new images that interpret historical motifs and imagery, will extend this aim, reframing material from the past anew – I can’t wait for everyone to see it.’
PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHTS
This year Frieze London and Frieze Masters will both feature a special artist-led project, Emma Talbot will install a new work at the fair that stretches the length of Frieze London’s entrance corridor. Titled 21st Century Herbal, Talbot’s work will take ‘Herbals’, medieval illustrated manuscripts that describe the healing properties of plants, as a starting point to create a 28-meter-long painted silk hanging garden. For Frieze Masters, Tyler Mitchell will debut new works including photographs, works on fabric, and installations, that reflect on the status of historical images and their tropes, which will be published in Frieze Masters magazine.
Sandhini Poddar (Adjunct Curator at the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi) will curate this year’s special section, Indra’s Net, which is a term derived from Buddhist and Hindu thought and refers to an ethics of being in which an individual atom holds within it the structure of reality. Indra’s Net’ will feature 10 dedicated presentations, as well as a number of cabinet-style displays scattered throughout the main section of the fair, and will feature artists including Dorothy Cross, Jamilah Sabur, Oscar Santillán, Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio, Clarissa Tossin, Martha Atienza, Teresita Fernández, Claudia Andujar and more.
In addition, 2022 Frieze Artist Award winner Abbas Zahedi will realize an ambitious new commission which will be situated immediately outside the fair, adjacent to the entrance. The installation will consist of a wooden structure co-designed with Harley Gray, Bassam Ibellini and Neurofringe. Over the course of the fair, this structure will host a series of live activations each of which will be broadcast, via a DIY radio, both online and into the heart of the fair. Zahedi will appear in conversation with Mariam Zulfiqar (Director of Artangel) on Thursday 13 October, 6pm GMT at No.9 Cork Street.
The winner of the 2022 Camden Art Centre Emerging Artist Prize at Frieze will be announced during Frieze London 2022. Launched at Frieze London 2018 and now in its fourth year, this annual prize awards an emerging artist under the age of 40 and exhibited at Frieze London in the Focus section of galleries, Tenant of Culture (Soft Opening) was the last recipient of the prize and currently has a major solo installation at Camden Art Centre (8 July – 18 September 2022) Previous winners of the award include artists Wong Ping (Edouard Malingue Gallery, Hong Kong) and Julien Creuzet (High Art Paris).
The Contemporary Art Society’s Collections Fund is designed to support the acquisition of significant contemporary works for Contemporary Art Society Museum Members across the UK. This year CAS has selected Norwich Castle Museum as the recipient of the Collections Fund at Frieze 2022. The work selected will explore issues of Climate Change and its impact on the environment and the movements of human populations. A key aim of the scheme is to draw together the knowledge, experience and expertise of private collectors with that of museum curators in a programme of research leading to an acquisition, which in turn can influence and ignite future collecting policy.
For the seventh year running, the Frieze Tate Fund Supported by Endeavor will provide £150,000 for the acquisition of works by emerging and leading international artists at Frieze for Tate’s collection. This year’s selection panel includes Maria Balshaw (Director) Polly Staple (Director of Collection, British Art), Gregor Muir (Director of Collection, International Art), Dominique Heyse-Moore (Senior Curator, Contemporary British Art), Valentine Umansky (Curator, International Art), Nathan Ladd (Assistant Curator, Contemporary British Art), Tamsin Hong (Assistant Curator, International Art), Habda Rashid, (Curator of Modern & Contemporary British Art at Fitzwilliam Museum and Kettle’s Yard), and Carolyn Lazard (Artist). To date more than 150 works by over 90 artists have been acquired, contributing to many displays that have taken place across Tate’s four galleries.
FRIEZE MASTERS TALKS
Dr Nicholas Cullinan (Director, National Portrait Gallery) returns to curate Frieze Masters Talks exploring the connections between historical art and contemporary practice. The talks will take place online as well as in person at a series of London galleries and institutions, speakers include Anthea Hamilton at Studio Voltaire, Kamala Ibrahim Ishag at The Royal College of Art, Tyler Mitchell at Burlington Arcade, in partnership with Gagosian and Andra Ursuța at David Zwirner London.
FRIEZE DEUTSCHE BANK EMERGING CURATORS FELLOWSHIP
Launched in 2020, the Frieze x Deutsche Bank Emerging Curators fellowship aims to increase accessibility, representation and social mobility within the arts. The initiative brings together artists and organizations across the non-profit and private sectors and creates an opportunity to grow and deepen curatorial practice within the UK’s leading public art institutions.
On the occasion of Frieze London 2022, fellowship alumni Amina Jama, Curatorial Fellow at Chisenhale Gallery and Kinnari Saraiya, Curatorial fellow at BALTIC Center for Contemporary Art, will each present a project.
Amina Jama will collaborate with this year’s Frieze Artist Award Winner, Abbas Zahedi, who as part of the activations accompanying his commission, will broadcast a poetry reading by Jama online and into the fair via a DIY radio.
Kinnari Saraiya will present Prequel / Sequel, a project utilizing a bespoke digital Bioscope to screen a selection of films at Frieze London. A form of traveling cinema, the traditional Bioscope functioned through a reel of images that were cranked by hand to create the illusion of a moving film. Popularized in the 1890s, the Bioscope found favour in the global south and is still used in India. The project, as Kinnari describes ‘is an attempt to hold on to the ingrained presence of these traveling cinemas, the experience of watching films in the interstices of everyday life with an organic unity of communal experiences. It is an attempt to protect its simple values as passed down to me in oral accounts by a generation that witnessed its decline’.
