Frieze Magazine

frieze is an international contemporary art magazine, released eight times a year from London. The publication was founded in 1991 by Amanda Sharp, Matthew Slotover and Tom Gidley and publishes essays, profiles, interviews and reviews by today’s leading writers, artists and curators.
