“After two straight years where weather undermined the Frieze New York operation, the fair was facing an existential conundrum. Since the inaugural Frieze fair in Los Angeles was lauded for its relatively small-scale 70-gallery format, dealers, collectors, and advisors were all asking: Should the New York fair continue as a 180-gallery behemoth? Judging by the exhibitor list this year, something seemed off. Several galleries—including Blum & Poe, Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, Anton Kern Gallery, and Esther Schipper—opted out of Frieze New York this year. Others, such as Pace, Skarstedt, Marian Goodman, Almine Rech, and Matthew Marks, not only opted out of Frieze, but decided to participate in the concurrent TEFAF fair instead.” – Artsy
