The Hammer Museum, LACMA, and MOCA have formed the Mohn Art Collective to collaboratively acquire significant artwork, including pieces from Edgar Arceneaux and Shaniqwa Jarvis at this year's Frieze fair. This initiative, supported by local philanthropists Jarl and Pamela Mohn, aims to enrich their collections, particularly focusing on works by Los Angeles artists. Christine Messineo, director at Frieze in the US, praised the collaborative effort among the museums' directors as unprecedented, enhancing LA's communal art scene. Notably, Arceneaux's innovative techniques and reflective artworks attract attention for their unique visual qualities.
The three directors of these three major institutions here in Los Angeles were walking through the fair, looking at artwork... it was a beautiful thing to witness.
Jarl is an ambitious thinker and philanthropist whose energy and commitment to the Los Angeles art world is transformative... a truly unprecedented collaboration.
