Frieze Returns to London: Here’s Are This Year’s Highlights
One prominent theme with Masters was the rediscovery of important female artists, with lengthy biographies getting ample space in numerous galleries:
Eva Švankmajerová was spotlighted by The Gallery of Everything, Feliza Bursztyn at The Mayor Gallery and Alice Baber at Luxembourg + Co.

You’re bringing Alice Baber to Frieze Masters this year – what influenced this choice?
We are very proud of this project. Alice Baber was a master of light and colour and she made some significant innovations to painting in the 1950s through her own work and her practice as a curator. She is one of the names whose absence from art history books needs to change.

“Jon Schueler began painting at 29 years old in San Francisco. Here, he fell under the wing of the Abstract Expressionist giant Clyfford Still. Encouraged by Still, he moved to New York in the early 1950s, immersing himself in the vibrant Abstract Expressionist scene alongside figures like Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock. However, in 1957, a trip to Scotland would forever change Schueler’s artistic direction.”
WOMAN IN THE SKY
Magda Salvesen lives amongst thousands of her late husband's paintings. Her loft -- the same one she and Jon shared as a couple -- remains both her home and the site of the recently formed Jon Schueler Foundation, a living museum dedicated to preserving Jon's legacy. Every wall is hung with Schuelers -- they surround Magda's life, and make it up. A celebrated garden and art historian in her own right, Magda has nonetheless dedicated her life to these paintings.

Jon Schueler

The manuscript, a compilation of journal entries, archival letters, and personal memories, edited by Magda Salvesen and Diane Cousineau, was recently re-released.
