The sun was out and shining all day Thursday in Los Angeles. It seems a fortuitous sign for the 2025 edition of Frieze Los Angeles, which opened to VIPs in the morning. From 10am onward, the custom-built tent at the Santa Monica Airport was packed with visitors.
Ahead of this edition, there were concerns not only if the fair should have proceeded with this year’s edition, but who would show up. Several collectors told ARTnews that ahead of the fair, Frieze hosted several VIP events in cities across the country encouraging its frequent high-profile visitors to make the trip. That bet seems to have paid off with fears of an empty, or half-empty, tent all but disappeared.
With 96 exhibitors, including several joint booths, this Frieze is a tight affair with a myriad of different offerings throughout. Below, a look at the best booths at the 2025 edition of Frieze Los Angeles, which runs through February 23 at the Santa Monica Airport.
