Frieze London has announced that Eva Langret will take over as artistic director from Jo Stella-Sawicka.
Langret joins Frieze from London gallery Tiwani Contemporary , where she curated Maren Hassinger’s first exhibition outside the US. Eva holds an MA in Art History and Archaeology from SOAS, London.
Frieze is one one of the world’s most influential contemporary art fairs which takes place in London, New York and Los Angeles.
Eva’s passion and intelligence, as well as her insightful understanding of how art fairs work, not only for galleries but also for the wider art world ecology, made her a clear choice for the role of Artistic Director, Frieze London. Throughout our conversations she has shown a deep understanding of and commitment to galleries, whose strength and success are at the heart of our fairs. The breadth and depth of her international network also make her a strong match for such a global platform. I am really looking forward to working with her and witnessing her spirit and energy in action. –Victoria Siddall
