"Los Angeles has long been an important cultural hub of some of the country's most innovative contemporary artists and institutions. Art Los Angeles Contemporary brings these inherent cultural qualities of our city together, making Los Angeles the perfect destination for a progressive international contemporary art fair." - Tim Flemings
The inaugural edition of Art Los Angeles Contemporary will be held January 28-31, 2010 at the iconic Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. The fair presents a select roster of top international blue chip and emerging galleries from around the world, with a strong focus on Los Angeles galleries. Participants showcase the most dynamic recent works from their represented artists, offering an informed cross section of what is happening now in contemporary art making.
Art Los Angeles Contemporary provides a sophisticated yet accessible environment for art collectors, curators, and arts patrons alike to enjoy. In addition, the fair hosts a comprehensive programming series, including world class artist talks, panel discussions on the state of contemporary art collecting, and a film screening series on site and around the city.
I realized it is very easy to get this fair confused with the Los Angeles Art Fair that goes on this weekend since they have very similar names. Added to the confusion is that Tim Flemings, the man behind this new fair was originally the director of ArtLA, the other art fair that sat out 2010. Up to 55 galleries with some well-known LA galleries are on the list.
Their opening reception is on Thursday (1/28) @ Pacific Design Center at 8:30-10:30 pm $30
Friday, January 29th, 11am–7pm
Saturday, January 30th, 11am–7pm
