We’re excited to announce that several of our AWNY member dealers will be participating in this year’s Frieze Masters in London, taking place in The Regent’s Park from October 15-19!
Francesca Galloway, Ippodo Gallery, Carlton Rochell Asian Art, and Thomsen Gallery will present exceptional works spanning Asian art, from historic masterpieces to contemporary innovations. Together, these galleries create a dynamic dialogue between tradition and innovation, highlighting the richness and diversity of Asian art for collectors, scholars, and enthusiasts alike.
Frieze Masters offers a unique contemporary perspective on thousands of years of art history, from collectible objects to significant masterpieces from the ancient era and Old Masters to the late 20th century. An artist-centred curatorial approach remains at the core, with the return of the much-celebrated Studio and Spotlight sections, joined this year by Reflections, a new initiative encouraging connections across time, media and context. Held in The Regent’s Park, the heart of London, the fair unfolds in an elegant setting designed by Annabelle Selldorf.
The galleries look forward to welcoming you at their stands in London soon! Learn more about their exhibitions below.

Laura de Santillana: Light & Legacy
Reflections Section
Ippodo Gallery is delighted to make their debut this year in the Reflections section at Frieze Masters with a solo presentation dedicated to Laura de Santillana! Laura de Santillana: Light & Legacy highlights the artist’s renowned glass sculptures that explore the material’s potential for aesthetic and spiritual contemplation, featuring the very first tablet series piece created in 1999 alongside her Sun and Egg series, and never-before-exhibited translucent tablets.
The granddaughter of Venini founder Paolo Venini, de Santillana reimagined her Murano glassblowing heritage through abstract forms. Her luminous works are held in major collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Presented within the fair’s Reflections section, this debut invites a deep meditation on how her objects capture and transform light, creating a dialogue between heritage and innovation.

Prajnaparamita, Nepal, 16th c., gilt-copper alloy, height: 7¾ in. (19.8 cm)
Carlton Rochell Asian Art
Stand D5
Carlton Rochell Asian Art is pleased to showcase exceptional works from India and the Himalayas, including this striking depiction of Prajnaparamita, the four-armed goddess revered as the “Mother of all Buddhas.”
Prajnaparamita embodies the perfect wisdom of all Buddhas, as reflected in her Sanskrit name, which translates to “Perfection of Wisdom.” She represents both the revered Buddhist text and its personification. One of her main attributes is the book, which is depicted as a long rectangular manuscript of palm leaves and represents the Prajnaparamita text itself.

Thomsen Gallery
Stand C06
Thomsen Gallery is excited to return to Frieze Masters and will be presenting an exceptional selection of Japanese art from the Taisho and early Showa eras (1910–1940). Highlights include White Peacocks and Fatsia by Itō Kinsen, a striking pair of screens that embody the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation so characteristic of the period’s most forward-looking works, with a flair for the extravagant and theatrical. Another standout is a captivating pair of screens by Kidō Shunpō, rendered in mineral pigments and ink on silk. They depict a tranquil late-summer scene: two chickens resting beneath a peach tree heavy with fruit—an intimate study of seasonal flora and the quiet rhythms of rural life.
The gallery will also present a remarkable collection of bamboo basketry, an art form that flourished in the 1920s and 1930s, including masterworks by Tanabe Chikuunsai, Maeda Chikubōsai, and Iizuka Rōkansai. Extending beyond this period, the presentation features an eighteenth-century screen of white chrysanthemums on gold ground, as well as a curated selection of avant-garde metalwork, porcelain sculpture, and calligraphy from the 1970s to 1990s, and a selection of their much sought-after gold lacquer boxes and tea caddies.
