The Frieze Masters Podcast, presented in collaboration with dunhill returns for 2025 with a series of nuanced dialogues traversing art, history and contemporary culture. Curated by Arturo Galansino, Director General of Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, this year’s edition – titled Woven Histories – brings together artists, curators and writers whose conversations intertwine geographies, generations and ideas. Each episode offers a considered meditation on how the past continues to inform the present, inviting new ways of seeing.

Recorded live at Frieze Masters 2025 in London’s Regent’s Park, the podcast was part of a week-long programme of talks hosted in the dunhill auditorium and lounge space, which drew inspiration from Bourdon House – our historic Mayfair residence – the setting offered a quiet richness of material and atmosphere: oak, leather, brass, and the unmistakable cadence of English refinement.

Within this environment, conversations unfolded on subjects ranging from Renaissance influence and cultural archives to human form, modernity, and the enduring power of the confessional voice. Contributors included Tracey Emin, Antony Gormley, Émilie Hammen, William Dalrymple and Christopher Rothko – figures who continue to shape the cultural landscape with both clarity and conviction. The full talks series is now available via the Frieze Masters Podcast, presented in collaboration with dunhill.
