As we prepare to exhibit at Frieze Masters 2024, Bowman Sculpture is excited to invite visitors on “A Journey Through Nearly Two Centuries of Sculptural Artistry.” This year’s collection features works that celebrate the history, innovation, and enduring power of sculpture, aligning perfectly with Frieze Masters’ tradition of bringing together artworks that span millennia.
Frieze Masters: A Cultural Nexus of Art History
Since its inception in 2012, Frieze Masters has become an essential part of London’s art week, running concurrently with Frieze London. Unlike its contemporary counterpart, Frieze Masters focuses on both historical and modern works, offering visitors the opportunity to engage with art spanning thousands of years—from ancient artefacts to masterpieces of the 20th century. This unique curation fosters a conversation between different eras of artistic expression, a theme that aligns perfectly with Bowman Sculpture’s presentation, which spans nearly 200 years of sculptural mastery
A Focus on Artistic Legacy and Innovation
Frieze Masters showcases a carefully curated selection of galleries, balancing works by renowned artists with those who have been overlooked. This makes it a must-see destination for collectors, curators, and enthusiasts. In previous years, the fair has featured everything from Rembrandt’s early masterpieces to Faith Ringgold’s powerful Civil Rights-era paintings. Notably, the 2023 edition introduced a Modern Women section, in collaboration with AWARE (Archive of Women Artists), which raised the profile of women artists from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The broad spectrum of works presented at Frieze Masters makes it more than just a commercial art fair—it blends connoisseurship with discovery. Ancient treasures, such as the 5th-century mosaic exhibited by Galerie David Ghezelbash, stand alongside bold contemporary explorations, like the sculptures of Thaddeus Mosley, offering visitors a platform to explore both history and innovation in the art world(
Bowman Sculpture’s 2024 Exhibition
Our booth at Frieze Masters 2024 will feature a stunning selection of works from Jean-Jacques Feuchère’s 1833 bronze “Mephistopheles” to contemporary pieces by artists like Emily Young and Tony Cragg. One of the highlights is Ossip Zadkine’s monumental bronze sculpture “Le Couple,” which exemplifies the European avant-garde’s blend of Cubism and Expressionism. This diverse presentation not only honors the legacy of past masters but also celebrates the innovation of contemporary sculptors.
