New Voices in Focus

Our British Art Fair curation this year marks a special celebration of our Young Masters Platform, ahead of Sweet 16: Young Masters Retrospective at 67 York Street Gallery during Frieze Week (14–20 October). We are especially delighted to debut two new works by Matt Smith - winner of the inaugural Young Masters Maylis Grand Ceramics Prize in 2014 - The Reader (2025) and Shade: After Fragonard (2025) (see above). Below, we spotlight four Young Masters artists whose fresh perspectives and distinctive practices embody the platform’s spirit of innovation. Their works will be unveiled at the British Art Fair, Stand 17.
