Los Angeles • February 25, 2025

Just last month, the prospect of art fairs in LA felt uncertain at best, but as LA Art Week approached, galleries gathered to help the city’s art community raise funds and morale. Matt Stromberg has the story on the Frieze art fair’s “business as usual” while Sigourney Schultz looks at local artists at the Post-Fair and the Other Art Fair, and Renée Reizman reflects on the upbeat atmosphere at the Felix Art Fair.

And there’s plenty more art to see in LA — make sure to check out Stromberg’s list of 11 shows to visit this month.
