Frieze Los Angeles and its satellite fairs attracted significant attention after recent destructive wildfires, highlighting the local art community’s resilience and need for support. Frieze’s US fair director noted an astounding turnout, with many in attendance purchasing works, indicating strong community backing. Local dealers expressed optimism, hoping for sales as a way to uplift the art scene in the aftermath of the fires, despite some noting a quieter vibe and lingering effects of the disaster on attendance and mood.
The energy yesterday was astounding. Our community, our art world, showed up for the fair in a major way. Not only were they participating and present, they were purchasing.
You really feel the effect of the fire. There’s a general consensus that things are slowed down.
