Following the success of Frieze Library at Frieze New York over the last five years, it has now arrived at the London fairs to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Frieze London. Frieze Library: Volume One, London, in collaboration with the Victoria & Albert Museum and Gordon Robichaux, takes place across Frieze London and Frieze Masters.
Initially conceived by New York gallery Gordon Robichaux, Frieze Library functions as ‘a curatorial collaboration between a fair, a magazine, a museum and a gallery’ (Sam Gordon, Gordon Robichaux). The initiative invites each Frieze London and Frieze Masters exhibitor to submit one art publication. Together, these form a collection of works on display at Frieze London and Frieze Masters. At the close of the fairs, the collection will be donated to the National Art Library at the Victoria & Albert Museum to form part of its permanent collection.
Galleries were invited to submit a title that they feel both echoes their fair presentation and speaks to the present moment. The resulting collection functions as a de facto archive of each fair, offering a reflection on the present day as seen through the eyes of artists, writers and art world professionals.
Frieze Library can be previewed via Frieze Viewing Room.
