FRIEZE Los Angeles 2025
- By Elaine Walker
Pablo Picasso is credited with saying “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life”, something Angelenos can certainly benefit from after the devastation and heartbreak of the January fires. The sixth edition of the prestigious international art fair Frieze Los Angeles 2025 will be a welcome visitor February 20-23, headquartered at the Santa Monica Airport and housed in a structure designed by Kulapat Yantrasast’s architectural studio WHY. Christine Messineo, director of Americas at Frieze describes the 2025 event as celebrating LA’s dynamic cultural landscape, creativity, innovation and community. Focusing largely on contemporary art, the fair will feature more than 100 galleries from 20+ countries with global names including Gagosian, Gladstone, Marian Goodman, Hauser & Wirth, Pace Gallery, White Cube and David Zwirner, plus an expansive program of ambitious installations, collaborations with nonprofit organizations, and pop-ups from some of LA’s most beloved restaurants. The fair’s Focus section spotlights 12 emerging galleries, giving a platform to the next generation of contemporary artists and art spaces. Launched in 2003 in London, Frieze expanded to New York in 2012 before arriving in LA in 2019, attracting a mix of art enthusiasts, seasoned collectors and Hollywood faces. The Frieze organization will support the LA Arts Community Fire Fund, led by the J. Paul Getty Trust, to help artists and arts workers impacted by the fires. In addition, 10% of newly purchased tickets will be donated to this fund.
