7 Must-See Exhibitions During Frieze London
October 2025
Frieze week has taken over London, pulling artists, collectors and casual art wanderers into a citywide orbit of openings, parties and late-night conversations. Beyond the fair tents in Regent’s Park, the programming spills across town as Rick Owens and Michele Lamy explore the poetry of decay in Rust Never Sleeps at Carpenters Workshop Gallery, while São Paulo’s Sonia Gomes brings warmth and memory to Pace with É preciso não ter medo de criar.
At White Cube, Cai Guo-Qiang ignites Gunpowder and Abstraction and Peter Doig transforms the Serpentine into a space of sound and stillness complete with custom towering speakers in House of Music. These are some of our favorite shows to check out in London this Frieze week.
