THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY ART SHOW IN AMERICA

Los Angeles has emerged as a global epicenter of art & culture, with a distinct, interwoven multi-cultural influence unique to the city. Diversity is our strength and art is most impactful when it includes or transcends all borders. As LA rises as the world-class destination for art, the LA Art Show continues to lead the way with innovative programming and one-of-a-kind experiences for an expanding collecting audience.

LA Art Show is the unparalleled international art experience with over 120 galleries, museums, and non-profit arts organizations from around the world exhibiting painting, sculpture, works on paper, installation, photography, design, video and performance. All works presented by galleries are available for your purchasing pleasure.

More than 180,000 square feet of exhibition space is committed to today’s prominent galleries. These domestic and international galleries, beyond their booths, curate special exhibits that are at the forefront of the burgeoning contemporary art movement. The fair offers an extraordinary array of works and experiences in specialized sections.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or merely an admirer of the arts, we are certain that the LA Art Show will provide you with a special experience in the world of Modern and Contemporary Art. We have created the most diverse art show in the world.

We strive towards making the LA Art Show a premiere international arts destination, in the likes of Art Basel, Frieze, and The Armory Show.

Art has always been at the forefront of society, bravely going where others feared to tread, whether it was the use of color, texture, composition or materials, artists have always pushed the envelope.

It takes a discerning eye and measure of courage to embrace and appreciate the new and the different and today’s collectors are a brave and appreciative crowd.

A show of this magnitude requires coordinated efforts from a myriad of people, and I wish to thank my entire team, especially Kassandra Voyagis, whose dedication and hard work made this show possible. I am grateful to all our new participants and to the many great galleries that return each year who travel here so that we may enjoy their spectacular works of art.

The LA Art Show is proud to serve as a vehicle for today’s galleries to showcase their artists. Our guests are provided the opportunity to enjoy a unique assortment of creative expression from all corners of the globe.

I am proud to welcome you to the 28th edition of the LA Art Show and to celebrate the fertile efforts of the human mind.

Enjoy the Show!

Scott Diament President | CEO Palm Beach Show Group

Welcome to LA Art Show 2023!

For our 28th edition, we return with a sold out show supported by some of our long-time exhibitors while welcoming many more who are new to our show. Equally exciting is the expansion of our modern and contemporary franchise which now includes our new sister show, Art Palm Beach, in Florida. We had a very successful inaugural edition this January, and I congratulate our dedicated LA Art Show team who worked so passionately to produce an exceptional show that created tremendous media buzz and wowed the art community. It was an entirely new market for us, and I was quite thrilled at how warmly we were welcomed, and how well our exhibitors did in terms of art sales.

Now, just weeks later, we have produced yet another sterling edition of the LA Art Show without missing a beat. It was a demanding schedule and my team rose to the occasion.

I would like to thank everyone who has helped make this possible. Words cannot adequately express my heartfelt appreciation for the support of all the exhibitors in the show, many having to make tremendous financial and personal sacrifices to participate. Yet, we have all come together with a common spirit as we welcome more than 120 exhibiting galleries and museums from North and South America, Asia and Europe.

Our show has always been about community and inclusivity, and we strive to be a force for all that is progressive and positive. As the most comprehensive art fair on the West Coast, we have always presented one of the most diverse and engaging programs in the world.

In my expanded role as Director and Producer of LA Art Show and Art Palm Beach, I anticipate new possibilities for the shows. There is so much we can offer our exhibitors now that we have a presence on both coasts. While the future looks very bright, I take nothing for granted. I remain grateful to every member of our LA Art Show team, working tirelessly and graciously under pressure. Their optimism for what is possible, and their faith in my leadership, continue to be an inspiration. I am happy to share the culmination of our collective hard work

Enjoy the show!

Citi is the official bank sponsor of the 2023 LA Art Show and host of the LA Art Show Gallerist Talks Presented by Citi. The Gallerist Talks were launched as a program to support a variety of galleries from the US and abroad, and provide them with increased access to new audiences, art lovers, and collectors.

We invite you to join us in the Citi space on the LA Art Show Floor to engage in live conversations featuring art dealers with diverse and wonderfully storied backgrounds. Our 2023 lineup includes Bruce Lurie of Bruce Lurie Galleries from the westside of Los Angeles, California; Bernard Markowicz and Paul Dahman of Markowicz Fine Art in Laguna Niguel, CA, Dallas, TX and Miami Beach, FL; Chris Davies and Stephanie Cummings of Fabrik Projects in Los Angeles, and Yann Bonnard, owner of K+Y Contemporary in Paris, France.

These gallerists and selected artists they work with will share stories on how they became involved in art, the challenges and opportunities they have faced in their business, and the most rewarding parts of pursuing their passion. These inspiring conversations will also explore the impact of art on society and will reveal what these professionals believe about the place of their own work in the world at large.

The curated Citi space on the LA Art Show floor will also exhibit a curated collection of artworks from the four featured galleries, extending their physical presence in the show to provide collectors and attendees with new perspectives on the art displayed.
