Frieze New York has revealed the exhibitor list for its 2026 edition, which will feature 67 galleries from 26 countries. The fair will return to The Shed in Hudson Yards from May 13th to May 17th, with VIP previews taking place on May 13th and 14th.
This year’s edition features two fewer galleries than Frieze New York 2025, though major international galleries including Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, Pace Gallery, Perrotin, Thaddaeus Ropac, Esther Schipper, White Cube, and David Zwirner, among others, will all have a presence.
Galleries such as Daniel Faria Gallery, P420, Almine Rech, Galerie Eva Presenhuber, and Marc Selwyn Fine Art will all make their return to Frieze New York following a brief hiatus from attending the fair. Many New York galleries will be in attendance, such as Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, Canada, Chapter NY, and James Cohan.
“The fair is a snapshot of the most compelling artistic practices today in an international city that embraces rigor, complexity and ambition,” said Christine Messineo, Frieze’s director of Americas, in a statement. “Our close relationships with New York’s institutions—particularly around time-based media and performance—extend our impact beyond the fair architecture, from Chelsea and into the wider city.”
Focus, the fair’s sector dedicated to solo presentations by young galleries, will once again be curated by Lumi Tan, who returns for a third consecutive year. Tan is known for her role as senior curator at The Kitchen in New York, and her recent work as curatorial director of the Luna Luna revival. More than half of the 11 galleries participating in Focus will be showing at Frieze for the first time, These include: Campeche, Europa, Isla Flotante, Sargent’s Daughters, Soft Opening, Ulrik, and W-galería. Returning participants Central, Champ Lacombe, Gordon Robichaux, and Public Gallery round out the section. “I’ve been incredibly excited by the section’s expansive range of media and cultural histories,” said Tan, highlighting “solo presentations that demonstrate how both historic and emerging artists have been and continue to be invested in world-building—imagining new structures and forms to engage with subjects as overwhelming as ecological devastation and urban spectacle, to as intimate as the relationship between mother and child.”
