Frieze Abu Dhabi

Tour

Frieze Abu Dhabi

Frieze Abu Dhabi

A private curated tour of the first Frieze Abu Dhabi, which from 2026 succeeds Abu Dhabi Art and becomes part of the international Frieze network.

19–22 November 2026. The route is prepared specifically for the fair and focuses on a limited number of artists, galleries and presentations worth spending time with. Particular attention is given to artists from the Middle East, galleries active in the Gulf, and the relationship between regional modernism, contemporary practice and the international art market. The purpose is not to see everything, but to leave with a sharper understanding of what matters in this edition.

Duration: by arrangement

Art Mediation at Fairs and Exhibitions

Art mediation

Art Mediation at Fairs and Exhibitions

A format centred on conversation rather than a guided narrative. A small group focuses on just a few works, questioning first impressions and comparing interpretations, with context brought in where it genuinely changes how a work can be seen. No prior knowledge of art is needed. Suitable for private and corporate groups, as well as teenagers.

Duration: 1–1.5 hours
