Luxembourg + Co will present a solo show of the American Artist Sue Fuller, one of the most innovative artists in the field of geometric abstraction in the United States during the post-war decades of the 1940s – 1960s (Luxembourg + Co, Frieze Masters, Stand D3).

Galleria Continua presents Carlos Cruz-Diez: “The euphoria of colour”, exploring the artist's own theory of colour, which results as much from his interest in scientific and philosophical theories of perception as from his reading of Western art history (Galleria Continua, Frieze Masters, Stand A6).

Helly Nahmad, London will present Joan Miró – After The War; a selection of paintings, works on paper and painted textiles executed between 1946 and 1973, emphasising Miró’s unique and ever-evolving approach to material and form (Helly Nahmad, Frieze Masters, Stand F5).

A solo presentation of abstract paintings by the much-celebrated Jadé Fadojutimi, whose coloured paintings question ideas of self-knowledge, identity and emotions (Gagosian, Frieze London, Stand E7).

Perspectives on Heritage, History & Identity

Hayv Kahraman, Torshi and eyes, 2022, Oil and torshi on linen, 127 x 127 cm, 50 x 50 in

Hayv Kahraman’s work explores ideas of agency and subjugation in the context of colonialism. Her figures are placed in seemingly impossible poses akin to circus performers or contortionists, attracting the voyeuristic gaze through an eroticisation and fetishisation of the ‘other’ (Pilar Corrias, Frieze London, Stand A21).

Jeffrey Gibson fuses his Choctaw-Cherokee heritage with club culture, queer theory, fashion, politics, literature and art history. The artist’s multi-faceted practice incorporates painting, performance, sculpture, textiles and video and is characterised by vibrant colour and pattern (Stephen Friedman, Frieze London, Stand C5)

A solo presentation that focuses on the work of Ilona Keserü, one of Hungary’s leading post-war abstract artists; with a career spanning over seventy years, the artist’s distinctive approach combines modern abstraction with references to Hungarian folk culture and historic European imagery (Stephen Friedman Gallery, Frieze Masters, Stand E7).

A dynamic painter and masterful colourist, Emma Amos’s commitment to interrogating the art-historical status quo yielded a body of vibrant and intellectually rigorous work; Amos uses her own likeness to demonstrate her longstanding interest in making art that reflects the experience of black women (Ryan Lee Gallery, Frieze London, Stand G22).

Lisson Gallery will stage a major solo, participatory presentation by Laure Prouvost who is known for her immersive and mixed-media installations that combine film and installation in humorous and idiosyncratic ways (Lisson Gallery, Frieze London, Stand B17).

Conceived during her exploration of light works in the late 1960s, Mary Corse’s The Cold Room is an environmental installation that consists of a suspended light box—similar to those she executed in 1968—inside a freestanding structure chilled to near freezing point (Pace, Frieze Masters, Stand S14).
