20th Anniversary Issue: Out Now
August 31, 2011
The 20th anniversary issue of frieze magazine celebrates the past and the future.
Since its launch in 1991, frieze has become known for its great writing, award- winning design and the ability to identify artists whose work is timely and provocative.
Following this tradition, the anniversary issue asks 20 artists whose work has been on the cover of frieze to nominate a contemporary artist whose work inspires them. The choices – by artists including Doug Aitken, Charles Atlas, Jeremy Deller, Tracey Emin, Louise Lawler, Richard Prince and Wolfgang Tillmans – give an overview of some the most exciting artists working today.
Also included are original contributions from writers Tom McCarthy on behalf of the International Necronautical Society, Mark von Schlegell and Bruce Sterling that all provide different visions of the future.
The anniversary issue surveys the most significant film and television, books and music of the past two decades, plus looks back at how art and its institutions have responded to developments in technology, philosophy and curatorial education.
Other highlights of the issue include: Michael Bracewell on the evolution of British cultural landscape since 1991, Francesco Bonami on the way taste has changed and a version of Raymond Williams’ 1976 Keywords, updated for today’s art world. Plus, 37 reviews of this summer’s must-see exhibitions, including the 54th Venice Biennale.
frieze is known for its reliable, unbiased criticism and analysis. The magazine continues to nurture new writing talent, through its annual Writer’s Prize, which it publishes alongside world-renowned writers, art historians and critics.
