In September, veteran Korean art fair Kiaf Seoul and the new Frieze Seoul will return for their second joint appearance at the Coex Convention & Exhibition Center.
Frieze Seoul's second edition will feature around 120 galleries—including those showing in Frieze Masters—when it returns from 6 to 9 September.
The lineup includes local galleries and leading international galleries such as Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, Lehmann Maupin, Lisson Gallery, Pace, Sprüth Magers David Zwirner, White Cube, and, Almine Rech.
Johannesburg's Goodman Gallery, San Francisco's Jessica Silverman, and Tokyo's SCAI The Bathhouse are among those participating in Frieze Seoul for the first time.
Frieze Masters will present historic and 20th Century artworks from 20 galleries, including Axel Vervoordt, Cardi Gallery, and Gana Art, during Frieze Seoul. The Focus Asia section will also return with ten solo presentations from Asia galleries.
Kiaf Seoul will mark its 20th anniversary this year with more than 210 galleries taking part from 7 to 10 September. That number is a big step up from the 164 participants last year, and exceeds pre-pandemic participation.
Newcomers include New York's Denny Gallery, who will present work by emerging painter Jessie Edelman. Other newcomers include Munich's Galerie Thomas, Hong Kong's Lucie Chang Fine Arts, Beijing's Triumph Gallery, and Seoul galleries IAH and Space Willing N Dealing.
They join 130 Korean Galleries including Arario Gallery, Kukje Gallery and PKM Gallery, and international galleries such as London's Carl Kostáyl, Galleria Continua, and Whitestone Gallery.
