This year it brings together the work of some of the most exciting contemporary artists to an international audience in London over the summer.The 2018 edition will feature works by 25 artists from five continents.

In the previous year, which was also the summer debut of Frieze Sculpture, more than five million visitors enjoyed exceptional sculpture by artists from around the world. The event was a huge success. The curator said, “my hope is that the exhibition will give pause for thought as well as great pleasure and that visitors to Regent’s Park will have a snapshot of the fantastic imagination of artists and variety of sculpture being made today.”The exhibit will feature for three months this summer with works by 25 contemporary and modern artists presented by world-leading galleries creating an exceptional cultural attraction at the heart of the city, for Londoners and international visitors alike."For the first time, Mtec, logistics partner for Frieze Sculpture, will cover the cost of installation for two emerging galleries, enabling them to participate in the display; and Frieze will also launch a new audio tour and family guide app in collaboration with mobile platform ARTimbarc,” said a representative. "Offering free public admission throughout the summer months, Frieze Sculpture will open in the English Gardens of The Regent’s Park on 4 July and welcome audiences until the end of Frieze Week in October.”
