Succinct Guide to LA's Art Fairs

January 16, 2011 by Marion Maneker

Los Angeles is in the midst of a rush of art fairs. So the Los Angeles Times’s Jori Finkel has put together a handy guide to making sense of the fairs:

Fair: Los Angeles Art Show
A.k.a.: the Fine Art Dealers Assn. fair
Place: Los Angeles Convention Center, downtown
Opening night: Wednesday, Jan. 19, tickets start at $125, benefiting the Art of Elysium               Regular show dates: Jan. 20-23
Strength: Paintings and prints with historical range
Talks of note: “Sisterhood City”: a panel on feminist art in L.A. with Meg Linton, Cheri Gaulke, Rachel Rosenthal and Linda Vallejo
Nice touch: A new iPhone app lets visitors point a phone at artwork of interest to get key info on it

Fair: Art Los Angeles Contemporary
A.k.a.: The fair that took place in the PDC last year
Place: The Barker Hangar, Santa Monica
Opening night: Thursday, Jan. 27, tickets $40 (no beneficiary)
Regular show dates: Jan. 28-30
Strength: Fresh-from-the-studio contemporary art
Talks of note: Raymond Pettibon on “the importance of one’s artistic practice, peers, dogs, music, politics and baseball”
Nice touch: The nomadic nonprofit West of Rome is organizing the opening-night performance
