PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS – SIGNIFICANT WORK BY EXCEPTIONAL ARTISTS:

Thought-provoking and exceptional presentations of contemporary and modern art, from across the main, FocusFrame and Spotlight sections, include:

Generations of New York painters, such as:

  • New York abstractionist William T. Williams showing a never-before exhibited body of paintings with Michael Rosenfeld Gallery (New York, main), concurrent with his inclusion in “Black Refractions: Highlights from the Studio Museum in Harlem” which tours the US in 2019;
  • New York-based Charles Mayton showing a new body of work, which continues the artist’s investigation into the studio, and the tools, techniques, and rituals of painting (with David Lewis, New York, Focus);
  • Brooklyn-based Harold Ancart’s presentation with David Zwirner (alongside Christopher Williams), coinciding with the opening of the Ancart’s Public Art Fund commission at Cadman Plaza Park, Brooklyn; and
  • Brooklyn-based painter Sarah Faux (Capsule Shanghai, Shanghai, Frame) who will create a site-specific wall drawing composed of bodies in motion, together with new oil paintings, involving the viewer in a polymorphous moment of touch

Frieze New York showcases an extraordinary cross-section of work, from today’s most exciting emerging artists to seminal figures of the 20th century. Building on Frieze’s history as a platform for discovery and challenging the traditional art fair format, the eighth edition introduces new curators and collaborations with leading museum directors; including two exhibitions exploring virtual reality and the significance of self-taught artists, and two new sections celebrating Latin American art and New York’s pioneering gallery community. Frieze New York is supported by global lead partner Deutsche Bank for the eighth consecutive year.
