Frieze Library, Volume Seven is open at Frieze New York 2025 and on the Frieze Viewing Room. Conceived by New York gallery Gordon Robichaux and originating at Frieze New York 2019, the Frieze Library is both an archive of the fair and a snapshot of the art world at a particular given moment. It invites each exhibiting gallery to submit one art book to a display at Frieze New York. At the end of the fair, the books are gifted to the Thomas J. Watson Library, the main research library of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, forming part of its permanent collection.
Sam Gordon of Gordon Robichaux Gallery picks his top ten donations to this New York edition of the library:
Jennie C. Jones: A Free and Shifting Tonal Center (Radius Books, 2024). Grace Deveney, Evelyn C. Hankins and Jennie C. Jones
Submitted by Alexander Gray Associates, New York
Find Jennie C. Jones on the roof of The Met, then enjoy this first major monograph, a survey on her interdisciplinary practice linking sound and form, and features images from recent exhibitions, including of her 2022 show at the Guggenheim Museum. Through painting, sculpture and installation, Jones invites audiences to anticipate sound – even in silence – shifting how viewers perceive visual space. Rooted in modernism, minimalism and the Black avant-garde, Jones’s work reflects deep conceptual rigour and sensory awareness, illuminating overlooked cultural legacies and shaping how we engage with abstraction, space and sound.
