About This Event
Karen Taylor will be exhibiting a selection of British works on paper by some of the leading British women artists from 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, from Sarah Stone to Laura Knight. Her stand will examine women artists’ contribution to science, portraiture and the landscape tradition, alongside examples by their male counterparts. Artists who travelled in search of inspiration will be highlighted, including examples by Thomas Jones, David Roberts, Edward Lear and Constance Gordon-Cumming. The show will include a strong selection of works by artists inspired by India.
Frieze Masters offers a unique contemporary perspective on thousands of years of art history, from collectible objects to significant masterpieces from the ancient era and Old Masters to the late 20th century. The 2026 edition of the fair will showcase over 130 of the most significant galleries from around the world.
The fair takes place in The Regent’s Park in the heart of London, in an elegant, contemporary environment designed by renowned architect Annabelle Selldorf, benefiting from natural light and a thoughtful aesthetic which lends itself to the sophistication of Frieze Masters. World-leading independent curators advise on feature sections for 20th-century art and focussed presentations of historical art and objects. The relationship between historical art and contemporary practice is further explored through the acclaimed Frieze Masters Talks programme, which was curated in 2025 by Arturo Galansino (Director General of Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence).
The celebrated Spotlight section will return to Frieze Masters, curated by Dr Devika Singh and Dr Sofia Gotti. The section is dedicated to solo presentations of artists working in the 20th century with a special focus on underappreciated work from the mid-century. Spotlight will explore unexpected positions, new research into overlooked figures from across the world, and significant early work from established artists.
