The Brussels gallery Xavier Hufkens returns to Frieze London, held in The Regent's Park from 14 to 18 October 2026, with a presentation at booth B15 spanning painting, sculpture, works on paper and neon. The selection covers more than four decades, from 1982 to 2026, and, according to the gallery, moves between figuration and abstraction while returning to the body, the transformation of materials and gesture.
Among the works singled out by the gallery is Richard Serra's St. Louis I (1982), a paintstick drawing on paper close to three metres high. It is shown alongside Thomas Houseago's large sculpture in brass and concrete, Red Figure (demon) (2022), and Ulala Imai's wide-format painting GATE KEEPER (2025).
Several artists are represented by works completed this year, including Mark Manders, Sterling Ruby, Esther Kläs and Lesley Vance; Ruby's contribution includes Bound Flowers. Couple. (9262) (2026). Joan Semmel is represented by a recent painting, Shoulder to Shoulder (2025).
The booth also brings together a group of four double-sided drawings by Louise Bourgeois and Tracey Emin's neon How it Feels (2012), as well as works by Huma Bhabha, McArthur Binion, Michel François and Walter Swennen, giving the presentation the cross-generational range the gallery emphasises.
During the same week, the gallery also draws attention to Cecilia Vicuña: Living Threads at Whitechapel Gallery, presented as the artist's first major exhibition in the United Kingdom. Spanning six decades, it surveys Vicuña's work across visual art, poetry, performance, ritual and activism.
Frieze London runs alongside Frieze Masters in The Regent's Park, with both fairs open over the same five days in October.
