The Regent's Park tents have closed. London collectors and American museum boards have departed. Auction houses added hundreds of millions to the fair totals this week.
Frieze London & Frieze Masters·Mid-OctoberThe Regent's Park Tents
The October window has concluded. The two tents in Regent's Park are now dismantled. One housed contemporary works. The other displayed five millennia of art history through Frieze Masters.
The Mayfair Axis
London's resident global collectors anchored the week. They were joined by American museum boards and the local gallery axis. Most attendees arrived by private jet for the brief autumn circuit stop.
The Auction Signal
The true financial indicator lies outside the fairgrounds. Evening sales at Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips were timed to the same week. These auctions routinely add hundreds of millions to the baseline fair totals.
Circuit Status
The autumn art market has officially opened. Frieze London and Frieze Masters served as the primary anchor for the Mayfair gallery axis. The circuit now moves to its next scheduled stop.
