Theaster Gates at Frieze Sculpture 2024

Coinciding with Frieze London and Frieze Masters 2024, Frieze Sculpture returns to Regent’s Park for its 12th edition. Curated by Fatoş Üstek, this year’s exhibition will feature works by 22 leading international artists, including Theaster Gates.

On view in the park’s historic English Gardens, Theaster Gates’s The Duet (2023) comprises two colossal bronze sculptures, Bronze Vessel 1 (Strike) and Bronze Vessel 2 (Double Mooring). In these works, the artist honours the legacy of ceramics, exploring its capacity to build worlds through the possibilities of scale in the vessel. By using bronze, Gates preserves the personal and spiritual significance of clay, highlighting ‘the ability the vessel has to hold the psychic and engender the monumental.’
