Into the Time Machine: ‘Studio’ at Frieze Masters 2025

Studio returns to Frieze Masters from 15 – 19 October 2025 for its third iteration. The section is based on the idea that the artist’s studio can be seen as a time machine: a unique place of making where the artist works at the edge of the vast terrain of past cultures and a space in which historical memory lights a spark of invention, which manifests in objects that look to the future.

Curated by Sheena Wagstaff (chair emerita, modern and contemporary art, The Met) and Margrethe Troensegaard (Studio assistant curator). This year’s line-up includes solo presentations by acclaimed artists Dorothy Cross (Frith Street Gallery), Anju Dodiya (Vadehra Art Gallery), Samia Halaby (Sfeir-Semler Gallery), R. H. Quaytman (Miguel Abreu Gallery), Anne Rothenstein (Stephen Friedman Gallery) and Glenn Brown (Gagosian).
