			Frieze has revealed initial details of the inaugural edition of Frieze Seoul, which will take place at COEX from September 2 to 5, 2022. The new fair will be led by Frieze Seoul Director Patrick Lee and feature over 110 galleries. Participating galleries include a strong contingent of Asian galleries, who will be joined by international galleries from 20 countries. Frieze Seoul will celebrate the city’s creative community, taking place alongside Kiaf SEOUL, operated by the Galleries Association of Korea.

Frieze Seoul will also introduce a section dedicated to Frieze Masters that will show art from throughout history as well as a special section Focus Asia featuring emerging artists and galleries, curated by Christopher Y. Lew (Horizon Art Foundation and Outland) and Hyejung Jang (Doosan Art Center and independent curator).

Frieze Seoul is Frieze’s first venture in Asia, and the fifth fair launched by Frieze, joining Frieze Los Angeles, Frieze New York, Frieze London and Frieze Masters on the international art world calendar.

Patrick Lee said: ‘It has been truly exciting to work with all our participating galleries on our first fair in Asia. There is a powerful sense of anticipation that gives every indication of the strong appetite for Frieze Seoul, and we are really looking forward to welcoming everyone to celebrate the creative life of the city this September.’

The fair’s main section will feature 90 major galleries from across the globe, including a strong core contingent of Asia-based exhibitors. Across the fair, 15 galleries will be participating as new Frieze exhibitors.
