A Landmark Week for Contemporary Art in London

Frieze London 2025 once again transformed Regent’s Park into the beating heart of the global contemporary art world. From 15–19 October, 168 galleries representing 43 countries came together to showcase a kaleidoscope of contemporary art — from bold installations to meticulously crafted paintings.

In a year of shifting market dynamics, Frieze London 2025 reaffirmed London’s position as an international centre for creativity, innovation and art commerce.
