Frieze New York, the popular international art fair, returns May 1 to 5th at The Shed in NYC. Along with an extensive program of events and activations throughout the week, Frieze will display works from more than 60 leading galleries from 25 countries. Last year’s fest sold out so be sure to snag tickets while you can.

Exhibitors include: 303 Gallery, Miguel Abreu Gallery, Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, Canada, Chapter NY, James Cohan, Gagosian, Gladstone Gallery, Alexander Gray Associates, Hauser & Wirth, Casey Kaplan, Karma, Anton Kern, Andrew Kreps Gallery, Matthew Marks Gallery, Ortuzar Projects, Pace Gallery and David Zwirner. 

Special presentations feature Matty Davis, who will perform a site-responsive work co-commissioned by High Line Art during Frieze Week. Performance Space New York will present a short film by Chella Man at The Shed, and marking the third year of collaboration, Artists Space will host a special off-site performance by composer Ellen Fullman. 

Alongside the solo presentations, participating galleries will show dual and themed presentations,
highlights of which include:

• A comprehensive look at Beverly Buchanan’s career, including her ’90s shack sculptures, ’80s
works on paper and ’70s Abstract Expressionist paintings, in a dual presentation with revered
self-taught artist Thornton Dial from Andrew Edlin Gallery.
• Commonwealth and Council’s curated presentation by Suki Seokyeong Kang, Beatriz Cortez
and Clarissa Tossin, who have all recently closed solo museum shows and share an interest in
the enmeshment of craft traditions and modern technologies.
• A dialogue between the works of Angolan artist Ana Silva and Brazilians Laura Lima and Vivian
Caccuri, whose practices use textile supports, presented by A Gentil Carioca.
• A multimedia group show from Stevenson featuring paintings from Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi’s
Stadium series, photographs from Mame-Diarra Niang’s Sama Guent Guii series, and two
sculptures by Bronwyn Katz.
• Mendes Wood DM’s presentation addressing forms of change through growth, memory,
abstraction and the sacred across the practices of Varda Caivano, Antonio Obá, Rosana Paulino
and Pol Taburet.

• A dual presentation featuring furniture and sculptures by Franz West and a range of works by
Nate Lowman, both known for their playful aesthetic and radical approach to formal concerns,
with David Zwirner.
• Pace with a dual presentation by Robert Mangold and Arlene Shechet, coinciding with the
latter’s solo exhibit at Storm King Art Center.
• Tina Kim Gallery’s group show including Pacita Abad, timed to coincide with her exhibition at
MoMA PS1.

For those who can’t make it to the festival there is the Frieze Viewing Room. Free and open to all until May 10, 2024,  the Viewing Room brings the fair online to audiences from around the world to give people a look at what will be on show during Frieze.
