As the country's leading contemporary art fair, the Frieze Art Fair is far from conventional and there's always the possibility of stumbling across something extraordinary. And with Frieze the world's most influential art buyers arrive in Regent's Park. In 2009, a new section, Frame, has been added to focus on solo exhibitions by regular Frieze galleries open for less than 6 years. Specially commissioned art works are exhibited alongside curated exhibitions as well as the pieces for sale. This year's Frieze Music offering is a performance piece by Turner Prize-winning artist Martin Creed, his first ever choreography work, to be performed at Sadler's Wells. Among the paintings and installations in Regent's Park there's an amazing jumble of the comical, the beautiful and the shocking. You can expect short films, talks and site-specific projects all presented in a slightly chaotic atmosphere. It's packed into a single temporary structure in the park with over 160 galleries from all over the world exhibiting work by around 1,000 contemporary artists. There's an incredible wealth of art on display - and the incredibly wealthy come to buy it.
