Instituto de Visión is the winner of the 2021 Frame Stand Prize, acknowledging the gallery’s exceptional presentation by Wilson Díaz.
Honorable mentions have been given to Gordon Robichaux for their presentation of Otis Houston Jr. and to Microscope Gallery for their presentation of Ina Archer.
This year’s Frame Prize jury of art experts included Lumi Tan (Curator, The Kitchen), Daniel Palmer (Curator, Public Art Fund), and Kate Fowle (Director, MoMa PS1).
"Wilson Diaz is one of the most relevant artists in Colombia and a reference for many artists in Latin America. However, his practice is still mostly unknown outside the region despite being part of many important international exhibitions. For our gallery, it was very important to present his work in New York, and Frieze has given us an amazing platform to showcase such powerful practice. Wilson and us are thrilled to have won the Frame Stand Prize." says Omayra Alvarado-Jensen, Instituto de Visión
The Frame section features ambitious solo shows of new work, by galleries active for 10 years or less, representing a critical arena for up-and-coming gallery programs from around the world. For Frieze New York 2021 Frame is advised by gallerists Olivia Barrett (Château Shatto, Los Angeles) and Sophie Mörner (Company Gallery, New York).
