This year Frieze London turns 20 and galleries and institutions have put on a visual feast across the British capital, with myriad rich offerings, especially by women. In terms of high-profile names, Tate Britain has a retrospective of Sarah Lucas, there’s Nicole Eisenmann at the Whitechapel, Avery Singer at Hauser & Wirth, and White Cube has a major show of Julie Mehretu’s work. Elsewhere, you can find Mary Corse at Pace, Christina Quarles at Pilar Corrias, Sheila Hicks at Alison Jacques, Sylvia Snowden at Edel Assanti, and Tamara Henderson at Camden Arts Centre.
Among less established artists, Claudia Alarcón, a textile artist from the indigenous Wichí communities of northern Argentina, will have her UK debut at Cecilia Brunson Projects; Pippi Houldsworth is showing Wangari Mathenge; Alice Black is mounting a show of Amber Pinkerton; Daisy Collingridge at TJ Boulting; Anna Uddenberg at The Perimeter; and Phoebe Collings-James at Arcadia Missa—the list goes on. And I’d be remiss not to give a special shout out to the ambitious Barbican group show “Re/Sisters: A Lens on Gender and Ecology,” a tribute, through photography and moving image, to some 50 women and gender-nonconforming artists who have shone a light on the links between environmental degradation and oppression of women.
