History
[edit]Frieze was founded in 1991[4][5] by Amanda Sharp and Matthew Slotover, with artist Tom Gidley.[6][2][3] The inaugural issue featured a Damien Hirst butterfly painting as its cover, and the magazine became closely linked with the Young British Artists movement of the 1990s.[6] Sharp and Slotover ceased direct involvement in editorial decisions in 2001.[7] In 2003, the year that the Frieze Art Fair was founded, Sharp and Slotover assumed the roles of Publishing Directors of the magazine, and Directors of the fair.[8]
From April 2011 to fall 2016, Frieze published Frieze d/e—a bilingual German/English quarterly magazine with its own editorial team and independent content. The magazine was edited and produced in Berlin.
In 2016, Endeavor acquired a reported 70%-controlling stake in Frieze, which includes its publishing, art fair and music interests. Simon Fox, formerly CEO of Reach plc, was appointed Frieze's first CEO on 2 April 2020.[9]
In 2019, long-time Frieze editorial director and author, Jennifer Higgie, stepped down from the magazine. Former New York–based senior editor, Andrew Durbin, was then appointed editor in chief.
