Appropriately named given the onset of this cold weather, Frieze London and Frieze Masters, located within walking distance of each other in Regents Park, open tomorrow and continue until Sunday.
Frieze London is one of the only fairs focusing solely on contemporary art and living artists, mainly post year 2000. The fair is divided into three sections with most galleries located in the 'Main Gallery' section, the others can be found in 'Focus' and 'Frame'. All galleries in Focus have solo shows or curated projects and have only been open since 2001, the works of which have never been exhibited at an art fair before. Frame is dedicated to solo artist presentations by galleries that have been in existence for less than eight years and present a regular programme of exhibitions.
Only in it's second year, Frieze Masters displays work made before year 2000, providing an interesting old and new art comparison. The fair is divided into two sections, again most exhibitors can be viewed in the 'Main Gallery' while 'Spotlight' is for those with solo 20th-century artist presentations.
This years Frieze Sculpture Park is it's largest to date, incorporating works from both fairs by some of the most acclaimed contemporary sculptors, alongside historical pieces dating back to the medieval period. Sculptures by Joan Miro, Helen Chadwick, Judy Chicago, Rachel Whiteread, plus many more are on display.
The Art Newspaper is also producing daily papers at both fairs so be sure to pick up a copy if you manage to pop down.
