In the heart of Regents Park, London, Frieze Masters 2023 showcased an extraordinary array of ancient art and rare books, brought to life through meticulous lighting design. The collaboration between Art Ancient and Daniel Crouch Rare Books, alongside the expertise of RCL by Luminii, illuminated the exhibition with unparalleled precision and sustainability. Central to this success were the DRX1 and DRX2 spotlights, chosen for their ability to enhance each artwork’s unique features while minimizing long-term degradation.
Frieze Masters, one of the pinnacles of the art world, demands nothing short of perfection in its presentation. For the 2023 exhibition, RCL by Luminii stepped up to the challenge, providing gallery-grade spotlights that transformed the ambiance of the space and elevated the artworks to their truest form.
Renowned for their expertise in lighting solutions for galleries and exhibitions, RCL by Luminii has been a trusted partner of Frieze Masters since 2012. Their spotlights offer unparalleled advantages crucial for the successful display of artworks.
For Art Ancient and Daniel Crouch Rare Books, selecting the right lighting scheme was paramount. The DRX1 and DRX2 spotlights, meticulously chosen, ensured consistent and accurate color rendering, preserving the visual integrity of rare antiquities and artworks. Notably, Art Ancient’s display of Paleolithic Hand Axes alongside the Anthropomorphic Gogotte required precise lighting to accentuate their historical significance.
Beyond color accuracy, the DRX1 and DRX2 excelled in directing light with exceptional precision. This ensured that each artwork was illuminated to perfection, without risking long-term degradation—a concern often associated with traditional incandescent lighting. At Frieze Masters, where artworks spanning centuries coexist, customizable spotlights are indispensable for creating dynamic visual experiences.
Moreover, the choice of energy-efficient technology aligns with Frieze Masters’ commitment to sustainability. By reducing the exhibition’s environmental footprint, RCL by Luminii’s lighting solutions contribute to a more eco-conscious art world.
Frieze Masters 2023 stands as a testament to the power of precision lighting in enhancing the exhibition experience.
