Ginny on Frederick is an art gallery in London. It was founded by Freddie Powell in 2020.
About The gallery's name refers both to founder Freddie Powell and his mother, Ginny.
Background The gallery was founded in 2021 (previously Frederick Terrace (2020)) by Freddie Powell.
Powell grew up in Hertfordshire. He studied Printmaking at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he realised he was not an artist, but loved being around other artists so "having a gallery is the next best thing". Powell curated his first show in a motel with Alexandra Metcalf (who he studies at RISD with). He previously worked with White Cube.
Prior to Ginny on Frederick, Powell ran Frederick Terrace, in Hackney. After signing the lease, he did one group show in the location before it was forced to close due to the covid lockdowns.
In 2021, Powell secured the Clerkenwell space. The first show was of artist Jack O'Brien in September 2021.
As of 2023, the exhibitions in the gallery had been "almost exclusively with friends, or friends of friends", including Powell's partner Lewis Teague Wright (who set up Lock Up International). In 2023, Powell was also considering moving to another space.
Location Ginny on Frederick is located in London's Smithfield Market in Clerkenwell, London.
