Reflections
Abby Bangser, Founder & Creative Director of Object & Thing, returns as curator for the 2nd edition of this invitation-only section.
Inspired by Casa Luis Barragán in Mexico City, the late architect’s former home and studio and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and The Cosmic House in London, former home of designers and writers Charles and Maggie Jencks, the section considers two homes that served as lifelong residences for around 40 years and embodied their architectural and design principles.
Barragán’s singular modernism was rooted in Mexican vernacular; Charles Jencks developed his ideas in The Language of Post-Modern Architecture (1977).
Works from both collections are shown alongside pieces reflecting the distinct design and collecting sensibilities of the two houses.
Participating galleries are Ammann Gallery, Erskine, Hall & Coe, Tristan Hoare and Side Gallery.
Queering Modernism
Debuting at Frieze Masters 2026, Queering Modernism: Visual Languages of the 20th Century is curated by German curator Anke Kempkes, who recently curated Queer Modernism 1900–1950 at K20 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf, 2025.
Rather than a single section, the theme runs across the fair through unexpected encounters, revisiting the Modernist and Post-War canon through queer experience and LGBTQIA+ representation. It traces visual languages from early modern experimentation to the postmodern 1980s, shaped by desire, embodied experience and self-representation.
Works include Ruth Bernhard (Galerie Albrecht); Claude Cahun and Judy Chicago (Alberta Pane Gallery); Lotte Laserstein and Glyn Philpot (Agnews); Bahman Mohasses (Ab-Anbar); Ismael Nery (Danielian); Luis Fernando Zapata (Elvira Moreno Gallery); and Alice Neel (Victoria Miro and David Zwirner).
