Frieze London
A tent in Regent's Park, a second tent for the old masters, and the whole London art world in one week
Two temporary structures in Regent's Park, one for contemporary galleries and one, Frieze Masters, for everything from antiquity to the late twentieth century, which is the better fair and considerably calmer.
The sculpture park between them is free and open to anyone walking through the park, which makes it the best free art in London for a fortnight each autumn.
