Frieze London opens its doors today with a presentation that had to travel further than most. Dealer Adam Shopkorn is showing the textile works of Haitian artist Myrlande Constant at the fair, a debut secured through an unusually complicated logistics chain: Constant moves frequently for her safety, and her large-scale textiles travel from Haiti to New York via the Dominican Republic before reaching international collectors. Constant is among the most celebrated textile artists working today. Her hand-worked pieces, rooted in Haitian Vodou traditions and history, have earned invitations to the 2022 Venice Biennale, Prospect.6 in New Orleans in 2024, and the 2025 São Paulo Bienal. Each work is a dense, slow-made object — and getting one from her studio in Haiti to a fair booth in Regent's Park is an operation that most galleries would not attempt. Shopkorn, who cofounded the Fort Gansevoort gallery in New York in 2015, has taken on exactly that challenge, displaying Constant's latest textiles at Frieze London this October. The presentation marks a vote of confidence in an artist whose international reputation has grown even as the conditions for making and moving her work have deteriorated. Her Frieze appearance underscores a broader pattern in the market: specialised dealers stepping in to provide operational stability for artists working in volatile regions. For collectors and visitors, the booth offers a rare chance to engage with high-value pieces whose journey to London is itself part of the story — one of the more quietly remarkable arrivals at this year's fair.
