Frieze London gives ceramics a special section for the first time, featuring 11 artists

The Frieze London art fair, which opened to the public on October 10, for the first time devotes a special section to ceramics, largely featuring Latin-American artists.

And it was a Latin-American gallery that picked up this year’s Frieze London Stand Prize. Proyectos Ultravioleta, in Guatemala City, won for its dual presentation featuring work by Guatemalan artists Edgar Calel and Rosa Elena Curruchich.

Some 60,000 gallery owners, collectors, influencers and visitors are expected in the British capital for the four-day annual event.

One of the world’s biggest and most prestigious contemporary art fairs, Frieze London offers visitors the chance to see works by both big names and emerging artists.

The ceramics showcase was the brainchild of Pablo Jose Ramirez, curator of the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.
