LA Exhibition of Julia Stoschek’s Video Art Is the City’s Hot Ticket 

Published by José Betancourt

“No white cubes! No black boxes!” That’s Udo Kittelmann speaking during a tour of “What a Wonderful World: An Audiovisual Poem,” a presentation he organized at the disused Venetian-style Variety Arts Theater, a six-story Los Angeles palace. On view are selections from the holdings of Julia Stoschek, an ARTnews Top 200 collector who primarily focuses on time-based media. Spaces from grand theaters to dingy basements, shadowy bathrooms to dusty hallways host 45 artworks from an international roster including Marina Abramović, Doug Aitken, Chris Burden, Paul Chan, Maya Deren, Cyprien Gaillard, Anne Imhof, Arthur Jafa, Paul McCarthy, Ana Mendieta, Precious Okoyomon, Jacolby Satterwhite, Sturtevant, and Jordan Wolfson. Related Articles Stoschek’s collection, managed by a foundation she established in 2002, includes over 1,000 works by 300 artists from the 1960s to the present, and brings together works created in mediums including video, film, installation, performance, and virtual reality. The works are typically on display at exhibition spaces opened in Düsseldorf in 2007 and Berlin in 2016. This is the collection’s US debut, timed to coincide with the …

2026 Frieze LA Art Show Fashion Photos

You just didn’t know where to look first at the Frieze festival’s Feb.  26 opening — but it wasn’t always at the artwork on the walls. The event, now in its seventh year, sprawled across a circus-style big-top tented megalopolis at the Santa Monica Airport — a far cry from its 2019 debut on the Paramount lot but every bit as spectacular. With work from 100 galleries representing artists from around the world, hordes of aficionados poured through the space during the opening of the four-day festival. There was, as usual, a heavy celebrity quotient; this year’s included Timothy Olyphant, Emma Watson, Christoph Waltz, WME’s Ari Emanuel and wife Sarah Staudinger (of L.A. fashion brand Staud), Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis, Fiona Shaw and Lisa Edelstein, plus artists Doug Aitken, Adam Alessi and Andrea. But the real stars of Frieze aren’t always the bold-faced names — they’re the boldly dressed ones. Among the thousands who turned out for day one, a remarkable number seemed to have treated their outfits as entries in the show …

The Best Booths at Frieze Los Angeles 2026

The Best Booths at Frieze Los Angeles 2026

Published by Jenni Sidey

At most fairs, nearly all the booths look just about the same: a series of white walls with paintings hanging on them, some with sculptures in the center. This is certainly not the formula used by LA’s Parker Gallery, whose booth looks and feels like no other at Frieze. Gallery artist Marley Freeman is showing a series of new paintings, drawing inspiration from Textile Artifacts, an antique textile dealership in LA’s Mid-City neighborhood founded by her father, Paul, in 1990. She and her brother, Jordan, are now involved in the business, which has lent antique textiles and produced replicas for over 100 movies.  For this installation, the Freemans together selected some of their most beloved textiles, which are exhibited hanging, flush from the top of the booth wall. The textiles were made between the 1880s and the 1980s, and were primarily sourced from Europe and New England. Atop these textiles, Marley is showing her abstract paintings. They feature layers of paint in different opacities, give them an illusion of movement that’s amplified by the patterning …

Nor’easter Causes Delays for New York Dealers Going to Frieze LA

Nor’easter Causes Delays for New York Dealers Going to Frieze LA

Published by José Betancourt

I arrived in Los Angeles last Friday afternoon, expecting that the showers that drenched my hometown last week might have dampened spirits ahead of Frieze Los Angeles. That proved not to be the case—temperatures here have been steadily increasing into the mid-70s over the past few days—but it turns out that weather across the country, on the East Coast, had been the true problem for some attendees, who were left scrambling after a nor’easter blanked New York City in nearly two feet of snow. Jonas Albro, an associate director at Magenta Plains, which is participating in the new Enzo fair opening Wednesday afternoon, was slated to take a direct flight from New York to LA on Tuesday morning, but after it was canceled, he was rebooked three times. Speaking to ARTnews while en route to LaGuardia Airport, which doesn’t have direct flights to LA, he said he was flying to Pittsburgh, then taking another flight to Salt Lake City, and then another to LA. His expected arrival time is 10 p.m. PST, about eight hours …
