Frieze Artist-to-Artist Curation: After receiving praise at the 2023 London Frieze, the Artist-to-Artist collection is back, showcasing some of the best up-and-coming talent from around the globe. The Artist-to-Artist collection at Frieze drives home the artist-centered program at the fair.
Six world-renowned artists, from Zineb Sedira to Hurvin Anderson, have selected one new artist to showcase for the collection. A true celebration of artists coming from many different points in their career, this is a great opportunity to see your favorite artists’ favorite art.
Yayohi Kusama “Every day I pray for love”: Yayoi Kusama is internationally acclaimed for her spectacularly immersive art installations. The artist is showcasing her 14th solo exhibition at Victoria Miro Gallery this fall (Sept 25 tough November 2). With an opportunity to step into the Infinity Mirrored Room, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Carol Bove – sculpture: For those looking to see truly impressive sculptures, Carol Bove’s exhibition at Gagosian Gallery is a unique experience. Bove’s towering steel sculptures turn the space into a forest of color from yellow to lavender. With her use of both treated and untreated materials, each piece is one of a kind.
Smoke – celebrating the art of ceramics: “Smoke” is this year’s themed collection at Frieze London centered around ceramics, exploring the cultures of diasporic and indigenous communities. Los Angeles-based curator Pablo José Ramirez brought together artists from around the world who specialize in precolonial clay practices.
Anna Weyant “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolves?”: The art world has had its eyes on Anna Weyant since she became the youngest artist to join Gagosian Gallery in 2022. With successful solo shows in New York and Paris, Weyant’s work is now on show at Gagosian, Davies Street, in London from October 8 through December 20. Coined “a millennial Botticelli,” her work is certainly worth a stop on your tour around London art galleries.
