Galleries were awarded for their outstanding presentations across the fair, with another prize especially for the Focus Asia section 

The section sees globally resonant themes explored by emerging artists from Singapore to Shanghai

We explore the textures of Seoul with the Korean artist, who explains why she is drawn to medieval art in the age of social media 

The second edition of the fair features more than 120 international galleries, Focus Asia, Frieze Masters and an emphasis on Korean artists

From Woo Hannah’s female-centred mythology to Priyageetha Dia’s narratives of migration, this year’s Focus Asia section investigates themes of death, truth, friendship and colonial legacies
