Frieze has named 84 galleries from 63 cities and 36 countries for its inaugural Abu Dhabi fair, running 19–22 November 2026 at Manarat Al Saadiyat. Gagosian, Pace, Perrotin, Thaddaeus Ropac and Victoria Miro — most absent from recent Abu Dhabi Art editions — will take stands. The fair replaces Abu Dhabi Art under director Dyala Nusseibeh, with the Department of Culture and Tourism remaining as financial partner.
