From February 16–19, artists, galleries, and patrons from all over the world will be in Los Angeles for the fourth iteration of Frieze LA. With support from its global partner, Deutsche Bank, the fair is taking up residence in a new home at the Santa Monica Airport, under the direction of Frieze’s Director of Americas, Christine Messineo. The central exhibition space will be a bespoke tent featuring a design concept by Kulapat Yantasast’s architecture and design firm, WHY, and its Landscape Director Mark Thomann. Additionally, the fair’s many happenings and cultural programming—including the sectors Focus LA and Frieze Projects—will spread across the airport’s grounds.

“Launching off from the Santa Monica Airport, the fourth Frieze Los Angeles represents the spirit of rejuvenation of this beloved airport and its neighborhood, as well as the broadest expansion of our communities of art and cultures in California,” said Yantasast.
At the 2023 edition, attendees can expect to find more than 120 galleries hailing from 22 different countries, spread across the widened fairgrounds at this new venue. And for those unable to attend in person, the fair is accessible through its Online Viewing Room. This year’s roster of presentations also includes an increase in galleries presenting 20th Century art, with many shining a spotlight on overlooked creatives—including names like Marianne Boesky Gallery, Anthony Meier Fine Arts, Parrasch Heijnen, and L.A. Louver.
