The Opening of the Fall Art Season in London
The rich history of London's art museums and galleries is matched only by the city's innovative contemporary art scene. This is your opportunity to experience it close-up, in the company of experts, during the Frieze Art Fair and the height of the all-important fall season. We will focus on the best the city has to offer, from insider experiences at Tate Modern and private collections to tours of galleries in influential neighborhoods such as Mayfair and the East End. You will also be accompanied at lunches, cocktails, and dinners by some of the fascinating luminaries London attracts, including artists, curators, collectors, and museum directors.
