Solo booth:  Bella Foster
October 14 - 18, 2026
Galleries Section Booth A1

The Pit is pleased to present a solo presentation of new paintings by Bella Foster at Frieze London 2026, on view October 14–18 at The Regent’s Park. The fair opens with an invitation- only preview Wednesday, October 14, from 11am–7pm, followed by public days October 15–18. Hours are Thursday 1–5pm (with a Members and invitation-only preview from 11am–1pm), Friday and Saturday 11am–7pm, and Sunday 11am–6pm.

For Frieze London, Foster presents a new body of paintings that moves fluidly between the intimate and the expansive: loosely observed gardens and flowers, arrangements of objects and books, wooded landscapes, Los Angeles neighborhoods, distant mountains, and a solitary bird against an expanse of sea. Rendered in luminous, sometimes unexpected color, the works favor the immediacy of recollection and observation over strict naturalism. Across the presentation, familiar places and everyday subjects become gently transformed through Foster’s distinctive handling of color, scale, and atmosphere, giving the paintings the quality of places both directly experienced and partially remembered.
