Frieze Seoul, the Korean edition of the global art fair first hosted in London by the contemporary art magazine Frieze, returns for its third year. This year’s show features more than 110 galleries from 30 countries, particularly emphasizing Korean and Asian art spaces. In addition to the fair itself, Frieze Week will include film and music programs, late events and collaborations across Seoul.
Leading the effort is Patrick Lee, Frieze Seoul’s director since its inaugural event in 2021. For him, art fairs like Frieze Seoul are more than just commercial opportunities—they are spaces where galleries, curators, collectors, artists and other interested parties can build relationships and more deeply communicate.
