Wikipedia says -
Frieze Art Fair is an international contemporary art fair in London, New York, and Los Angeles.[1] Frieze London takes place every October in London's Regent's Park. In the US, the fair ran on New York's Randall's Island from 2012-19 and in 2021 was held in the Shed at Hudson Yards,[2] with its inaugural Los Angeles edition taking place February 2019.[3][4]
The London edition normally has about 160 exhibitors in Frieze. It is held over four days in a 40,000SqM tent. There is a simultaneous Frieze Masters event showing older work with about 130 exhibitors, and a temporary sculpture park. In 2021 stand rental was £524 per sqM.
The fair was launched by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, the founders of frieze magazine.
Although staged for the purpose of selling work, out of its 68,000 visitors[5] it was suggested in 2006 that 80% attend purely to spectate.[6] The fair also commissions artist projects and holds a programme of talks. The galleries who apply each year are selected by gallerists who participate at Frieze, according to specific criteria.[7]
Frieze Art Fair released sales figures following the first three fairs. However, Sharp and Slotover came to regard such results to be misleading and inaccurate, as many sales are completed post-fair, and many galleries choose to keep their sales figures private. From 2006 the fair has not released sales figures.[5]
In 2010, Matthew Slotover, co-founder of the fair, debated whether "art fairs are about money" with Louisa Buck, Matthew Collings, and Jasper Joffe for the motion and against the motion Norman Rosenthal, Richard Wentworth, Matthew Slotover.[8] Joffe claims that his criticisms of Frieze Art Fair led to his work being banned from the fair in 2010.[9]
In May 2011, Slotover and Sharp announced the launch of two new art fairs - Frieze New York, and Frieze Masters.[10]
Since the mid-2000s, auction houses Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips have expanded their mid-season contemporary sales that coincided with Frieze London.[11]

What makes Frieze London different from other art fairs?
Frieze London is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists. The fair’s exhibiting galleries represent some of the most exciting artists working today, from the emerging to the iconic; and a team of world-leading independent curators advise on feature sections, making possible performance-based work and ambitious presentations by emerging galleries. The fair focuses on living artists and innovative practice. Unlike most other fairs, Frieze takes place at the heart of its host city, forming part of London’s vibrant cultural fabric and international art scene. How many people attend the fair and who are they?
Over the past years, we have had over 60,000 visitors to Frieze London and Frieze Masters combined. These visitors included those with an interest in the art world, such as curators, artists, collectors, gallerists and critics, as well as the general public. Some visit as first-time collectors of art whilst others view the fair more as an exhibition, enjoying the experience as a cultural day out.
