By GlobalDataDeutsche Bank Wealth Management global head Claudio de Sanctis said: “We have been partners with Frieze since the inception of their extraordinary journey and have always admired and tried to emulate their capacity to be innovative.
“When we knew there could no longer be a physical event for Frieze New York, we were inspired to seize this difficult moment to create a new way of interacting with our clients and making a positive impact through art.”
Frieze holds annual fairs in London, New York along with Los Angeles.
