TRACING TIME
Frieze No.9 Cork Street, London
26 June – 5 July 2025
Trois Crayons presented the second edition of their successful Drawings Hub at No.9 Cork Street, Frieze’s permanent exhibition space in London, in the summer of 2025. Held in collaboration with Maak, a contemporary ceramics auction house who showcased a selection of ceramic works to accompany the drawings being exhibited, Tracing Time ran from 26 June to 5 July.
Doubling in size from the 2024 Drawings Hub, Tracing Time included over 250 drawings from more than 35 renowned international galleries and dealers. The exhibition included works spanning from the 15th century to the present day by artists such as Hans Rottenhammer, Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, J.M.W. Turner, Auguste Rodin, Gustav Klimt, Jean Cocteau, Françoise Gilot and many others
Freely accessible to the public, Tracing Time offered a diverse series of panels and talks in the auditorium at No.9 Cork Street, as well as off-site tours of museums and print room visits, all organised by the Trois Crayons team.

“We have made it our mission to demystify acquiring drawings by the world’s best artists. Through our innovative presentation model, we are working to create an environment where buying drawings and works on paper is a pleasurable and straightforward experience that both established and new collectors can equally enjoy. From our installation style to our talks programme, each visitor is encouraged to engage with the medium in new and meaningful ways. Works on paper are one of the most democratic areas in the art market, and we hope to share our passion for paper with all who visit.”
