For the past few weeks, Frieze New York’s tent has been going up on Randall’s Island. It finally opens to VIPs on Thursday. But Frieze is not alone in the art-fair game this week. Quite a few other art events will be swinging open their doors. Below, a quick guide to the action.
FRIEZE NEW YORK: MAY 9–12
Frieze New York returns again to Randall’s Island for the fair’s third installment, this year with more than 190 exhibitors. If walking or biking is your preferred mode of transport, the 103rd Street Foot Bridge is free and accessible at the East River Esplanade at 103rd Street and FDR Drive. If walking seems cumbersome, the Frieze ferry runs every 20–30 minutes from 10 a.m. until 30 minutes after the fair closes, and departs from the 35th Street Ferry Dock on the East River. (Tickets must be purchased in advance for $19.) As an alternative, the Frieze bus service runs from outside the Guggenheim Museum on 5th Avenue between East 88th and 89th Streets approximately every 10 minutes during fair hours, and costs $7 per round trip. (Also only available in advance.)
May 8–11, 11 a.m.–7 p.m. (May 8 is by invitation); May 12, 11 a.m.–6 p.m. One day: $43, students: $27, one day and catalogue: $76.
