VIP day for this year’s edition of Frieze Los Angeles took place on Thursday morning, and the sunny weather seemed like a good omen. Gone was the glum cloud cast by last year’s wildfires.
From the beginning, the fair was packed with visitors. There’s a slightly new layout this year, which helped make the fair feel less claustrophobic. The fresh layout also created the sense that the fair was well-attended. Certainly, the energy was buzzing.
The 95 exhibitors at the fair brought an abundance of art with them. While many dealers opted for stands that show off a mix of artists in their programs, some went with solo presentations. Painting and sculpture abound, as do textiles, but the most noticeable trend is an uptick in photography compared to past editions of the fair.
Below, a look at the best booths at the 2026 edition of Frieze Los Angeles, which runs through Sunday, March 1, at the Santa Monica Airport.
