Frieze Los Angeles 2023, is taking place at a new location, the Santa Monica Airport plus the Barker Hangar from Thursday, February 16 to Sunday, February 19 2023.
For this fair, Frieze Los Angeles have implemented hourly entry time slots due to capacity, so we highly recommend that you book your preferred entry time at your earliest convenience.
Led by Christine Messineo, Director of Americas, Frieze said,
“As Frieze Los Angeles expands its scope, our galleries continue to present exhibits of historical and contemporary significance that are ambitious, thoughtful, engaging, and of institutional quality.”
The 2023 edition of Frieze Los Angeles will welcome over 120 galleries from 22 countries across the world, including galleries from the greater Los Angeles region such as Blum & Poe and The Box alongside emerging spaces such as Chris Sharp and Dreamsong in the Focus section, and exhibitors showing pioneers of the 20th century.
The Focus section is dedicated to emerging galleries and artists, showcasing the work of some of the most promising talents from across the US. This section is curated for the second year by Amanda Hunt, alongside new Associate Curator Sonya Tamaddon, and will include solo presentations by artists such as Greg Breda, Kyoko Idetsu, Edgar Ramirez, Sophie Wahlquist and Hana Ward.
One of the highlights in Focus will be a dual presentation by LA-based gallery Stars, who will show a selection of photographs by LA-based photographer Clifford Prince King and ceramicist Andrés Monzón who works between Medellín and New York City. King will present a new body of work that represents a continuation of his explorations into care, intimacy and vulnerability within his community. Monzón is producing a new body of work exploring softness and vulnerability, qualities often culturally denied to people who identify as male or assigned male at birth.
