Featuring more than 65 galleries from 25 countries, Frieze New York returns to The Shed for the 13th edition with art from around the globe, a performance-centered program at the Shed and on The High Line, and a partnership with non-profits, including the Artist Plate Project, which will feature over 50 limited-edition plates by renowned artists to raise funds for the Coalition for the Homeless.
