Since its debut in 2012, Frieze New York has redefined how the world experiences art.
It’s not just an exhibition — it’s a global think tank for creativity, culture, and dialogue.

More than 1,000 artworks will be presented this year, from minimalist sculptures and digital installations to politically charged paintings that reflect the pulse of modern society.

Expect to see names like Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, Pace, and David Zwirner, alongside cutting-edge newcomers from Seoul, Mexico City, and Lagos.

Frieze isn’t limited to The Shed — it spreads throughout the city.
The Frieze Sculpture Park in the High Line area will feature monumental outdoor works, while the Frieze Talks program invites artists and philosophers to discuss art’s role in a world of rapid change.

Evenings come alive with exclusive gallery events, private dinners, and afterparties, turning the fair into a full cultural experience that merges art, fashion, and innovation.
