Korea's largest 'Hot Art Week' is returning. This fall, Kiaf and Frieze are preparing for their third joint event. It's a 'star moment' as Seoul firmly establishes itself as a global art hub. Kiaf will be held at Coex A&B Halls, the Grand Ballroom, and The Platz until the 8th, while Frieze will take place in Halls C&D until the 7th. This year marks the midpoint of the five-year agreement between the two events. As the global economic downturn persists, the next two years will serve as a barometer for success. Art presents a special preview of the third Kiaf & Frieze. Since the launch of Frieze Seoul, the editorial team has published a special issue every year. This special edition is divided into two main content sections. First, interviews with power gallerists: three leading global gallery representatives share insights into the current state and outlook of the contemporary art market and their strategies for this year's art fair. Second, gallery & artist highlights: we spotlight 74 'blue-chip artists' from 47 major domestic and international galleries participating in the two events. Experience the mammoth fall events, Kiaf and Frieze, in advance with Art!
