This October, Sloane Street becomes an open-air gallery as Frieze steps beyond Regent’s Park for the first time. Named the art fair’s inaugural Destination Partner, the Street will stage Modern Nature, a curated outdoor sculpture trail by Frieze Studios coinciding with Frieze London and Frieze Masters 2025.
Works by Maya Rose Edwards, William Farr, James Jessiman, Marc Quinn and Ro Robertson will transform Chelsea’s most iconic thoroughfare into a cultural promenade—proving that art doesn’t need four walls to make an impact.
Expect the unexpected: Marc Quinn’s Deep Red Desire, a striking representation of an orchid in eye-catching red, explores passion, desire, and our relationship with the natural world. Nearby, his Our Botanic Shelves (Happy Tree), inspired by specimens in Kew Gardens’ herbarium, celebrates plants used in treating human diseases.
Ro Robertson’s Stone (Butch), cast from erosion along Cornwall’s rugged coast, elevates naturally sculpted figuration to art, claiming bold space in the urban environment.
James Jessiman’s The End gestures towards nature’s role in a future still to come, whilst Maya Rose Edwards’ An Alternative Guide To Birdwatching—twelve silhouetted magpies perched on trees and lampposts—brings the Scottish rhyme ‘One for sorrow, two for joy’ to life along the Street.
William Farr’s immersive celestial works, Metonia 005 and Metonia 007, will adorn streetlight poles and transform into large-scale window vinyls, inviting passers-by to pause and look up.
