The eighth edition of Frieze New York has a number of new Asian dealers from Taiwan's capital Taipei, Kolkata, India, as well as South Korea's capital, Seoul. There are also six Chinese galleries exhibiting, an increase from two in 2018. In the past year, there have been more than 100 exhibitions at this year's fair, including works by Ai Weiwei, whose installation "Resistance" was shown for the first time outside China. Last May, an unexpected heat wave sent temperatures in the Frieze tents soaring to uncomfortable levels, and organizers were unprepared for it. The festival will be held at Randalls Island Park over the first weekend of May.
