When Red Walls and Rose Quartz Steal the Spotlight at Frieze Los Angeles
A sea of art lovers and celebrities converged at the Santa Monica Airport for Frieze Los Angeles 2024, where the fair’s single-tent format turned every booth into a hotspot. The buzz wasn’t just about the crowds or the star sightings—it was the art itself that sparked conversation and commerce.
One booth, painted a vivid red, drew visitors into a world where extinct animals and climate hope mingled through Brandon Ballengée’s urns and Jessie Homer French’s fire-scorched landscapes. Nearby, James Fuentes paired the theatrical legacies of Geoffrey Holder and Kikuo Saito, bridging continents and styles in a dialogue between abstraction and portraiture.
Elsewhere, vanessa german’s rose quartz sculptures shimmered with echoes of West Coast hip-hop and personal history, while Aydeé Rodríguez López and David Montaño Roque brought Afro-Mexican traditions to life with painted ceremonies and carved masks.
At Frieze, art isn’t just seen—it’s felt, debated, and, more often than not, sold before the day is done. The fair pulses with the energy of a city—and a global art world—finding new ways to connect.
