Frieze Sculpture has returned to Regent’s Park this summer, featuring works by 25 contemporary and modern artists presented by world-leading galleries.

Artists featured include Larry Achiampong, John Baldessari, Rana Begum, Yoan Capote, James Capper, Elmgreen & Dragset, Tracey Emin, Tim Etchells, Rachel Feinstein, Barry Flanagan, Laura Ford, Dan Graham, Haroon Gunn-Salie, Bharti Kher, Kimsooja, Michele Mathison, Virginia Overton, Simon Periton, Kathleen Ryan, Sean Scully, Conrad Shawcross, Monika Sosnowska, Kiki Smith, Hugo Wilson and Richard Woods.

"Last year, our first-ever summer Frieze Sculpture was a resounding success, with more than five million visitors enjoying exceptional sculpture by artists from around the world," says Clare Lilley. "The 2018 edition is just as expansive and diverse so that both the public and collectors can experience world-class artwork in the beautiful English Gardens, designed by Markham Nesfield in 1866. My hope is that the exhibition will give pause for thought as well as great pleasure and that visitors to Regent’s Park will have a snapshot of the fantastic imagination of artists and variety of sculpture being made today."

Frieze Sculpture is accompanied by a free audio tour by Clare Lilley and family trail in a new, freely downloadable app, which you can download via frieze.com/sculpture.
