The busiest week in Los Angeles’ art world takes place this coming week as collectors from around the world descend upon the city. No less than five art fairs will unspool across L.A. this coming week, with the two biggest being, Frieze Los Angeles (now in Santa Monica) and the LA Art Show (now coinciding with Frieze). A host of art gallery openings, museum events, artist talks and parties will be happening too. Read on for the ultimate guide to what’s happening around town.
Frieze Los Angeles
The Frieze Los Angeles — which has moved to a new location at Santa Monica Airport — runs Feb. 16 to 19, inside the Barker Hanger as well as in a massive tent specially designed by WHY Architecture. The airport spot, says Christine Messineo, fair director of Frieze, Americas, “allows us to expand both our physical imprint but also our ambition.” This year, a record 120-plus galleries are participating, while the Frieze Projects: Now Playing collaboration with Art Production Fund will showcase sculptures and installations such as Chris Burden’s monumental 40 Foot Stepped Skyscraper and Ruben Ochoa’s Class C, a mobile art gallery housed inside his family’s former tortilla delivery van. Additionally, Frieze Projects: Against the Edge — encompassing five off-site activations, shepherded by Jay Ezra Nayssan of the nonprofit Del Vaz Projects — is planned, including a show of work by the late artist Julie Becker exhibited inside the Santa Monica childhood home of Shirley Temple. The fair also includes a focus section spotlighting galleries that have been in operation for 12 years or fewer. General admission tickets start at $102; frieze.com
LA Art Show
The LA Art Show is back for its 28th edition at the L.A. Convention Center, running Feb. 16 through Feb. 19 and featuring more than 120 galleries, including 14 from South Korea and six from Japan.
