Frieze (magazine)

Frieze is an international contemporary art magazine, published eight times a year from London.

[4] Frieze was founded in 1991[4][5] by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, with artist Tom Gidley.

[6][2][3] The inaugural issue featured a Damien Hirst butterfly painting as its cover, and the magazine became closely linked with the Young British Artists movement of the 1990s.

In 2016, Endeavor acquired a reported 70%-controlling stake in Frieze, which includes its publishing, art fair and music interests.

[9] In 2019, long-time Frieze editorial director and author, Jennifer Higgie, stepped down from the magazine.
