Frieze Sculpture Returns To London In September 2026

Frieze Sculpture 2026

Frieze Sculpture will return to The Regent’s Park in London on 16 September 2026, for its 14th edition, running until 1 November. The sculptures will be situated throughout the Park’s historic English Gardens and will coincide with London Sculpture Week, a city-wide celebration of public art which takes place from 19 to 27 September, as well as Frieze London and Frieze Masters on 14 to 18 October 2026, encouraging visitors to experience art beyond the fairs.

Curated for a fourth time by Fatos Üstek, the exhibition features eleven artists including Angel Otero, Conrad Shawcross, Tarini Sethi and Ivana Bašić. Each artist will present sculptural works that blend different media, materials, techniques, and cultural references, creating a vibrant hybrid ecology shaped by distinct spatial, social, and environmental contexts.

This year’s edition invites audiences to engage with the sculptures not as isolated objects but as interconnected elements linking materials, stories, and communities to the natural environment. Each artist explores the concept of hybridity in their own way: Angel Otero presents a threshold-like doorway that descends beneath the grass; Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran creates a vibrant dual-faced idol; Ivana BaÅ¡ić offers a powerful brutalist monument; and Tarini Sethi features intricate stainless-steel screens depicting utopian scenes. Together, these works embody the central vision of the edition: sculpture as a living, adaptive, and expansive language.

Alongside these four, the full roster of artists taking part this year includes Ivana Bašić, Carolina Aguirre, Matyáš Chochola, Conrad Shawcross, Angel Otero, Douglas White, Elena Nemkova, Özlem Günyol & Mustafa Kunt, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, Tarini Sethi, and Catriona Robertson, each bringing new commissions and recent work on loan from leading international galleries.

FatoÅŸ Üstek, Curator, Frieze Sculpture, said that ‘We invite visitors to step outside the rhythms of everyday life and into the park, where artistic propositions open up new ways of thinking and feeling. Through materials, references and critical engagements with history, myth, ritual and forms of belonging, the works illuminate hybridity not as a condition to be explained, but as a reality to be experienced.’

While, Eva Langret, Director of EMEA, welcomes Frieze Sculpture as ‘one of the most open and immediate ways to experience Frieze in London. For seven weeks, the exhibition brings artists, galleries and audiences together in the Regent’s Park, extending the energy of the fairs into the public realm and inviting people to encounter art as part of everyday life.’

The Official Digital Guide for Frieze Sculpture is provided by Bloomberg Connects. The free guide will comprise exclusive content and an audio tour narrated by Üstek which will be accessible throughout the exhibition’s run, offering an innovative way for users to engage with the artworks from anywhere in the world. For the first time, Frieze Sculpture’s content on Bloomberg Connects will include a dedicated Family Guide, featuring a curated audio experience designed for families to explore the artworks in an accessible and engaging way.
