Which galleries are returning to Frieze London and Frieze Masters 2025—and which are not?

This October, almost 290 galleries will set up shop in Regent’s Park for Frieze London and Frieze Masters, both taking place between 15 to 19 October.

For it’s 22nd edition, Frieze London will welcome a little over 160 exhibitors, including global blue-chip dealerships like Gagosian, Pace, Goodman and Sprüth Magers and leading London galleries like The Approach and Corvi-Mora.

Galleries that took part in last year’s Frieze London but will not return this year include Tanja Wagner, Magician Space, Tanya Leighton, Mariane Ibrahim, Project Native Informant, Sultana, 47 Canal, Lia Rumma, François Ghebaly, Croy Nielsen, and Blindspot.

First-time participants in the fair’s well-regarded Focus section, for solo artist presentations by galleries under 12 years, are: Bombon, a. Squire, King’s Leap, Kayokoyuki, Coulisse, Gathering, Eli Kerr and Cylinder. They join returning galleries to the section such as El Apartamento, Clima, Brunette Coleman and Rose Easton.

The fair’s curated section this year is organised by Jareh Das and will explore the connections between artists from Brazil, Africa, and their diasporas, whose ties are “shaped by shared histories marked by the forced movement of African people across the Atlantic, and by ongoing cultural exchange”, according to a press release. Artists and galleries in this section will include Bunmi Agusto (Tafeta), Serigne Mbaye Camara (Galerie Atiss Dakar) and Sandra Poulson (Jahmek Contemporary).

Across the park, Frieze Masters will be held for the first time under its new director Emanuela Tarizzo, who took over from Nathan Clements-Gillespie earlier this year. The fair for pre-21st century art will welcome around 120 galleries this year, including first-time exhibitors Champ Lacombe, Galerie Mueller, Joost van den Bergh, Luisa Strina and Vito Schnabel Gallery.

Tomasso, the UK gallery where Tarizzo was a director prior to her joining Frieze Masters, will rejoin the fair after not participating for several years.

The Studio section returns under curator Sheena Wagstaff, featuring solo presentations by Dorothy Cross (Frith Street Gallery) and Anju Dodiya (Vadehra Art Gallery), among others.

This is the first edition of both Frieze London and Masters to take place following a deal struck in April by the Hollywood mogul Ari Emanuel to buy the entire Frieze brand from his former company, Endeavor. The deal is expected to close at the end of this year, and is reportedly worth $200m.
