Frieze New York moved to The Shed at Hudson Yards in 2024 and runs a five-day window every May. The 2026 edition lands May 13–17 with 67 galleries from 26 countries, durational performances at the Whitney and Dia Chelsea, and the kind of computational and AI-adjacent practice that mirrors the same week ai climbed back into Google's U.S. top-ten search bracket. A single ticket. The rest of the year The Shed is back to its usual programming. Thursday afternoon is the time to catch the work before the weekend crowd erodes the sightlines.
