blue chip art collecting
The inaugural edition of DESIGN MIAMI.LA opens today, taking place until May 20, 2024 at a private Holmby Hills estate. The fair’s Curatorial Director, Ashlee Harrison, offers a dynamic program of collectible design, serving as a testament to California’s rich design heritage as an international arbiter of taste. From the post-war mid-century design boom and car culture, to the entertainment industry and space age engineering, the fair explores themes of eclecticism, imagination, and nostalgia – all integral to the city’s design landscape.
Today, Frieze unveiled highlights of the fifth edition of Frieze Los Angeles, once again steered by Christine Messineo (Director of Americas, Frieze). Running February 29 – March 3 at Santa Monica Airport, the fair brings together over 95 of the world’s leading galleries under one roof, showcasing a cross-section of today’s most exciting and influential contemporary art from across the globe. Continuing Frieze’s commitment to supporting the wider Los Angeles arts ecosystem, this year sees the return of the Santa Monica Art Bank Acquisition Fund.
