The results are in, and by the look of it, Frieze’s return to Regent’s Park in London was a smash success. Both Frieze London and its more staid great-aunt Frieze Masters proved fertile ground for international VIPs making the trip from around Europe, the U.S., and Asia.

Although sales news trickled in steadily, it was certainly at a slower pace than during last month’s Art Basel or pre-pandemic editions of Frieze. We’ve rounded up sales reported from galleries at the London fairs below. As always, keep in mind that these figures come from dealers directly and are not independently verified. Sales unaccompanied by prices are not included. All prices are converted to USD.
