Hi All,

London will be at full throttle with Frieze, PAD London & 154 opening next week and kicking off with Christie’s 20th and 21st Century Art Party on Saturday with a screening of Marina Abramovic’s work Performance for the Oceans.

At 1-54 Contemporary, we will be looking out for Prince Gyasi at MAAT Gallery, Zanele Muholi at Galerie Carole Kvasnevski, and Theresa Webber at October Gallery. Take a read of our Monday Muse interview with Touria el Glaoui, the fair’s founding director.

At Frieze London, download the app and start mapping its new floorplan designed by A Studio Between which gives bigger, brighter space to the Artist-to-Artist section of six emerging talents nominated by established artists and to this year’s themed zone, Smoke. Curated by Pablo José Ramírez (Curator, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles) it focuses on ceramic works that explore diasporic and indigenous histories. We will be making a beeline for Dawn Ng at Kate MacGarry, Lawrence Lek (Winner of the 2024 Artist Award at Frieze London) at Sadie Coles, and Carol Bove’s abstract sculptures at Gagosian. Don your Rains coat, The Row zipper boots and sunglasses – going a little incognito can be useful.

Opening 8 October, PAD London in Berkeley Square brings together leading designers and galleries including Rose Uniacke with her focus on Swedish furniture and Bryan O’Sullivan who is responsible for Claridge’s sumptuous interiors. This is where deco renovation dreams are born.

With best wishes from me and the KTW Family,
Katy
