FRIEZE LONDON’S SISTER FAIR, Frieze Masters, presents superlative works of art from all periods – from Antiquity through the Renaissance and the age of the old masters, to the late twentieth century. Over 130 galleries from twenty-six countries will participate in the event, which, as well as the familiar booths and champagne bars, this year includes some expanded curated sections.
‘Studio’ is curated by the new Creative Advisor, Sheena Wagstaff, former Chair of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and features solo presentations by ten living artists who draw on the art of the past to inform their practice: Beatrice Caracciolo, Isabella Ducrot, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Shirazeh Houshiary, Kim Yun Shin, Mernet Larsen, Thaddeus Mosley, Doris Salcedo, Nilima Sheikh and Adriana Varejão. Another themed section, ‘Spotlight’, will feature overlooked artists and lesser-known works by established figures from the 1950s to the 1970s.
A diverse programme of talks with industry experts will enrich the academic offering of the fair. ‘Frieze Sculpture’, curated by Fatoş Üstek for the second year, presents outdoor sculptures at Regent’s Park’s English Gardens, connecting Frieze Masters with Frieze London.

CECILIA BRUNSON PROJECTS, LONDON
This month London embraces Frieze Week once more, which will see collectors, curators and art enthusiasts from around the world descend on the capital for the country’s foremost contemporary art fair and the numerous satellite events and exhibitions it begets. This year the Frieze London tent in Regent’s Park will host more than 160 galleries from home and abroad, foregrounding mainly contemporary works made post-2000 by living artists. Now with seven such fairs in its portfolio, having acquired both the Armory Show and EXPO Chicago in 2023, Frieze will be seeking to advance the individual character of each event. Here, through design choices and curation, Eva Langret, Director of Frieze London, emphasises solo presentations and emerging artists, while a new floorplan aims to give prominence to curated parts of the fair that make it unique.

For centuries paintings have been treasured as religious icons, great works of art, objects of value. But paintings age, and with age comes change: varnish yellows, candles scorch, dust accumulates. From the sixteenth century to the present day the question of how to restore such works has taxed their owners. The articles in The Art of Conservation, commissioned from the foremost scholars in their eld, originally appeared in The Burlington Magazine. Now collected in book form they tell the story of the evolution of the art of conservation throughout Europe and the United States.
PARIS+ PAR ART BASEL has been renamed Art Basel Paris for its third edition and is the first such event to be held at the Grand Palais after a three-year renovation, and follows the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Led by the Director, Clément Delépine, the art fair will present 195 galleries – forty-one more than the last edition – from forty-two countries and territories. Taking place at this culturally significant venue, Art Basel Paris highlights its ties to the city. Over a third of the exhibiting galleries have operating spaces in France; the fair boasts a public programme organised with local institutions; and a conversations programme will be held for the first time at Petit Palais just next door.
Art Basel Paris is organised into three sections, with stated ambitions to showcase emerging artists and galleries and to broaden the art-historical canon. The main sector of the fair presents works from 170 leading modern and contemporary dealers, of which thirty are first-time participants. The second section, ‘Emergence’, consists of sixteen solo booths, which will be spread across the balconies surrounding the central nave of the Grand Palais. ‘Premise’ is a new section of nine galleries, each foregrounding compelling yet little-known artistic practices and may include work made before 1900.
