Frieze has revealed initial details of the second edition of Frieze Seoul, which will take place at COEX from September 6th to 9th, 2023. The fair will be led again by Director Patrick Lee and will feature more than 120 galleries. Participating exhibitors span 30 countries across the globe and include a strong core of galleries from across Asia, with a particular emphasis on those with spaces in Korea. It will take place alongside Kiaf SEOUL – operated by the Galleries Association of Korea – with the two fairs working together to celebrate the city’s growing creative community.
This year, the fair will see the introduction of LG OLED as the Official Headline Partner of Frieze Seoul, marking the beginning of a collaboration that brings together the worlds of art and technology. The fair is also supported by Deutsche Bank, which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary as global lead partner with Frieze, continuing a shared commitment to artistic excellence.

Patrick Lee said: ‘Building on the success of last year’s inaugural edition, Frieze Seoul 2023 features a line-up of exceptional galleries from across the globe, with a special focus on Asia-based exhibitors showcasing the best art from the region. In addition, we are excited to expand the fair’s dynamic program of special projects embodying the spirit of collaboration, creating a moment for cross-cultural connections between artists, collectors, curators and art enthusiasts from around the world. I look forward to a week of creativity extending beyond the fair and am thankful for the support and enthusiasm of the government, Kiaf and all the arts institutions involved. We invite everyone to join us this September to celebrate Seoul’s vibrant arts and cultural landscape.’
