Frieze Los Angeles 2024 in Pictures: Celebrities, Art, and More

Frieze Los Angeles opened its fifth edition for VIPs on Thursday at Santa Monica Airport. Although the show was a little smaller than usual – from 120 to around 95 exhibitors – it was full of action on VIP day and was open to the public for the first time on Friday.

There were many notable people in attendance, from celebrities to collectors to dealers, and there were impressive works of art on display at the stalls, and good sales to boot.

“Today was our most successful first day at Frieze LA since the fair’s first year,” Marc Payot, president of Hauser & Wirth, said in a statement emailed to ARTnews.

We spent some time wandering around the trade show, camera in tow, to get a feel for the scene and the energy at LA's premier trade show.
