Also proof that Frieze is properly doing its’ job by including important (and possibly lesser known) LA galleries.Įcho Park based concept store fronts as a plant store but is so much more. Run by Paris-originating Naoki Sutter-Shudo, LA staple Eric Kim and Lee Foley (formerly of Chateau Shatto), this gallery is proof of a wider international ongoing conversation happening in Los Angeles.
Their entrée featuring Miriam Laura Leonardi and Lauren Satlowski, was widely talked about and circulated via social media (Satlowski’s, Another poem about snow in particular). Both artists use aesthetics, via differing mediums (Johnson in painting and Dean in sculpture, video), to explore and express critical theory, resulting in a tight, pretty and conceptually rigorous presentation.Ī new and very welcomed addition to the fair, Bel Ami was one of the younger participants having started the gallery only three years ago. Local Los Angeles gallery, run by Olivia Barrett, presented Aria Dean and Helen Johnson in a two person booth. London based gallery Sadie Coles presented a solo booth by Venezuelan painter Alvaro Barrington, in an immersive painting installation complete with site-specific wallpaper. The Car concept is at once specific and expansive, a way to open up a broader conversation about the LA experience in general and remain cohesive, thoughtful and engaging.

LA’s original fair, Art Los Angeles Contemporary, never quite caught on with an international audience, despite its’ ten year run (the fair is still going after rebranding and changing locations this year), and Paris Photo’s sudden pull from their fair also at Paramount Studio in 2016, what would have been their fourth year, reporting previous years’ low gallery sales as the predominant reason for cancellation.Īt Frieze Los Angeles 2019, despite the heavy rain and some to be expected disorganization, you could feel the success, after which, originally skeptical galleries lined up to get a booth. Prior to the debut, its’ success was uncertain. Last year the highly anticipated motion made waves. This past weekend marked the second iteration of Star Art Fair Frieze’s Los Angeles outpost.
