“Los Angeles is central to the global art market,” Bonnie Brennan, president of Christie's Americas, told WWD.
The city was abuzz all weekend, with the fair attracting 100 galleries, local and global exhibitors, and visitors from the U.K., Europe and Asia. Drawing artists of all ages, international galleries and big-name collectors, L.A. has become an important market, said Bonnie Brennan, president of Christie’s Americas: “is central to the global art market. It is a thriving cultural center and home to a wonderful network of esteemed collectors.
“We saw the number of bidders in California grow by 8 percent in 2021 compared to 2019, while the growth in buyer spend was up 78 percent compared to 2020,” revealed Brennan. “We are continuing to develop compelling exhibitions and events in our Los Angeles gallery in 2022 and beyond to harness this momentum.”
Among its attractions, Frieze introduced the BIPOC Exchange, a community-focused space located in The Beverly Hilton, outside the fair tent. Highlighting organizations and establishments like the People’s Pottery Project and Tierra Del Sol — looking to empower the underserved through art — it was organized by artist and activist Tanya Aguiñiga.
