By 2 p.m. on Friday, when Frieze Seoul began its preview at the Coex Convention & Exhibition Center, the line of VIPs waiting to get in was already enormous. All week in the South Korean capital, there have been parties and performances, exhibitions openings and pop-ups. Now we have the main event.
About 110 exhibitors from around the world are filling the cavernous halls of Coex for Frieze (and another 160-plus exhibitors are on hand for Kiaf—the Korea International Art Fair—in a hall below). The place is jam-packed with people, and it no doubt will be through the event’s end on Monday: the appetite for art here is voracious, and the material is strong.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
There are revered modernists, young guns, and even some ancient items, thanks to a small Frieze Masters subsection: a booth for everybody. Below, the nine best presentations on offer.
