Supported by global lead partner Deutsche Bank, Frieze Los Angeles is back at the Santa Monica Airport from 26 February to 1 March, 2026, along with all the myriad shows surrounding it during LA Art Week and throughout the month. Here is a peek at what to expect, including two billboards on Sunset Boulevard by Santa Monica native Greg Ito, and the nomadic Superposition Gallery in partnership with Orange Barrel Media, that will also present ‘A Cautionary Tale’ in the Focus section of Frieze.
Many other galleries will do double duty at home base and at the Frieze fair, with exhibits that reflect the ongoing, harrowing aftermath of the Eaton Fire in LA, one year on; homelessness; and brutal ICE raids. Do make time for Felix LA (Hollywood Roosevelt), The Other Art Fair (Culver City), and the Post Fair (Santa Monica) shows this year for a mix of new and established, local and international talents.
Los Angeles Art Exhibitions: what to see in February 2026
Frieze Los Angeles
Santa Monica Airport, 26 February to 1 March, 2026
The 2026 edition of Freize LA will start out strong with a neon installation by Patrick Martinez at the fair’s entrance reflecting on ICE raids and immigrant rights in America. Inside, the fair will span twenty-two international locations, and include close to 100 galleries from Gagosian to Hauser & Wirth, and David Zwirner. In addition, LA-based artists Dan John Anderson, Polly Borland, Cosmas & Damian Brown, Kohshin Finley, Shana Hoehn, Amanda Ross-Ho and Kelly Wall will come together for Frieze Projects ‘Body & Soul’ - a public art program, presented in partnership with the Art Production Fund that explores the human form in its physical and metaphysical dimensions. This year, Napoles Marty was awarded the 2026 Frieze Los Angeles Impact Prize, which recognizes an early-career artist and partners with a non-profit organization that has made a significant social impact. Marty’s onsite exhibit at the fair is in collaboration Titus Kaphar's New Haven, CT-based nonprofit cultural advocacy organization NXTHVN.

The show is also supporting Altadena Brick by Brick, a new nonprofit created in the wake of the Eton Fires, continuing the fair's commitment to community impact.
Post-Fair
Santa Monica Post Office, 26-28 February 2026
Post-Fair is an alternative three-day art fair in Los Angeles taking place at the old Santa Monica Post Office building on 5th Street.

Danny Minnick - 20/26
Gallery 33 until 19 February 2026
Acclaimed Los Angeles-based artist, Danny Minnick is showcasing a transformative collection of large-scale canvases that bridge the gap between street energy and fine art. Minnick is revered as a multi-hyphenated creative, with aptitudes spanning Neo-Expressionist painter, professional skateboarder, cinematographer, actor, and director. Collectors of his work include Jessica Alba, LeBron James, and Gus Van Sant. Stylized skeletons with a ‘plus’ sign in the torso frequent his work, as a global symbol of positive energy and human will, with his painting style moving fluidly between abstraction and figuration, often described as a "free-flow" of ideas.
Lauren Quin: Eyelets of Alkaline
PACE until 28 March 2026
LA-born and based artist Lauren Quin’s debut exhibition with Pace gallery will coincide with the 2026 edition of Frieze LA, and will spotlight new, large format works that mark a decisive rupture in the artist's practice. Known for her expansive, vibrant abstractions, Quin has turned from an ‘overdose’ of chromatic intensity toward what she describes as a ‘detox of colour.’ This experimentation with tonality and chromatic structure will be on full view in the upcoming show, which will also accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue from Pace Publishing featuring a new text by the poet, playwright, and essayist Ariana Reines.
Mourning's Orbit
Night Gallery 21 February until 4 April, 2026
On the one year anniversary of the Eaton Canyon wildfire, this new body of paintings by LA artist Mira Dancy, who is an Altadena resident, and is still in the midst of instability and rebuilding her life. She has a temporary studio, and she and her family have been in-between hotels and homes. Her new work bears witness to the devastation wrought by the fire, and this will be the artist's fifth solo exhibition with the gallery.
For Frieze Los Angeles, Night Gallery will present British painter and elected Royal Academician Clare Woods new body of wet-into-wet paintings on aluminum, inspired by a recent visit to The Huntington Gardens in Pasadena.
Veronica Fernandez: Prey
Anat Ebgi Gallery from 21 February to 4 April, 2026
For the first big solo exhibition of new work by emerging Los Angeles-based artist Veronica Fernandez, her autobiographical paintings are rooted in memory, inspired by the financial difficulty and homelessness in her upbringing, living in various temporary housing solutions. She uses old photographs as a starting point and her figures occupy real spaces: families in LA motel rooms, kids playing in gas stations or construction sites. Veronica is also a co-founder of Ignite The Hearts Foundation, where she provides crucial support to LA families experiencing homelessness.
For Frieze Los Angeles, Anat Ebgi Gallery will show work by Mexican artist Anabel Juárez, among others. Her work deals with topics of migration and the recent ICE raids in LA, and she will debut new work as part of her ongoing series of ceramic pots, plants and flowers.
Alma Berrow
Megan Mulrooney Gallery from 24 February until 28 March, 2026
The gallery presents a new body of work, and the first US solo exhibition, by British ceramicist Alma Berrow. The decadent, grotesque tablescape is drawing on 1970s domestic excess and her grandmother’s Cordon Bleu magazines. The installation features elaborate dinnerware overtaken by ants, slugs, cigarette butts, and other signs of decay. A former pastry chef who learned ceramics from her mother during the pandemic, Berrow uses food as both lure and critique, exploring consumption, waste, and the lingering fantasy of idealized domesticity.
Almost There
Make Room until 21 February 2026
Vienna-based Romanian artist, Paul Robas contemplates the finitude of human existence in his work by embracing quiet moments, removed from time and resting in stillness. He holds onto a moment and distorts it into a universal experience; photographs of friends, moments of lighting, and fragmented imagery create a particular distant familiarity. These paintings prompt you to reflect on how moments are remembered, the times you have already lived through, the fleeting present, and the future that is yet to come.
Diary of a Fly
Barnsdall Art Park’s Hollyhock House, until 25 April 2026
Located within the grounds of Barnsdall Art Park, Ryan Preciado's installation at Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House is significant for a myriad of reasons - one being the landmark home was in danger of closing due to funding cuts, but is still open to the public. Installed throughout the landmark structure, Preciado’s textiles–his first in the medium–and sculptures are titled after a late-1930s musical composition by Béla Bartók that imitates the frenzied pace of a fly. The music’s repetitive motifs and observation of the everyday resonates with Preciado’s approach to his site-responsive exhibition, which builds on Hollyhock House’s one-hundred year history as a platform for artists and experimentation. Preciado’s work has recently been featured locally at the Hammer ‘Made in LA’ exhibition.
A Degree of Light
Karma until 14 February 2026
Light surveys two of Norman Zammitt’s most significant bodies of work: laminated-acrylic pole sculptures and the striated, abstract Band Paintings, whose shifting horizontal registers are fullest realization of Zammitt’s quest to capture the way light and colour interact in perception. These series reflect his reverence for the skies of Los Angeles and New Mexico; his deployment of then-groundbreaking industrial and computer technologies; and his commitment to the poetics of experience.
During Frieze, Karma will unveil a Milton Avery figurative painting exhibition, along with materially and conceptually rich paintings by Casey Bolding.
Leiko Ikemura: Riding Horizon
Lisson from 24 February until 28 March, 2026
After Leiko Ikemura's Lisson debut in New York in 2025, she opens a second gallery exhibition in Los Angeles in 2026 with a range of works produced over the past five or six years that explore her relationship to bodies of water and the horizon line, or as she describes it: ‘the place where two worlds come together.’ While one of Ikemura's monumental Usagi characters – her starry-skirted rabbit hybrid creatures – greets visitors outside the gallery, the recurring figure of a reclining girl or woman is seen inside the show, both in large-scale bronzes and paintings made with egg tempera, which again confront the coexistence of humans and nature. An indoor stone garden will sprout vertical sculptures that reach between these two poles, while her fantastical treatments of landscape painting enter into the realms of reflection, dreamtime and even of conflict.
Wally Hedrick: Sex Politics Religion
Parker Gallery and The Box, from 14 February to 4 April, 2026
The Box and Parker Gallery are concurrently presenting a full-scale retrospective, spanning from the 1950s to the early 2000s, by the iconoclastic California artist Wally Hedrick (1928–2003). Hedrick, who was born in Pasadena and died in Bodega Bay, CA, was a pivotal figure of the San Francisco Beat Generation. In 1954, he co-founded the legendary Six Gallery in San Francisco. Hedrick conceived and organized an important poetry event at the gallery, held on October 7, 1955, in which Allen Ginsberg publicly read ‘Howl’ for the very first time, heralding the San Francisco Renaissance and West Coast literary revolution. In 1959, Hedrick and his wife, Jay DeFeo, were included in Sixteen Americans at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, alongside Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Rauschenberg and Frank Stella.
At Frieze, Parker Gallery will be showcasing new paintings by Marley Freeman in collaboration with Textile Artifacts, the artist’s family run business located in Los Angeles, CA. The presentation at Frieze precedes a solo exhibition with Marley Freeman at the gallery in the fall.
everything was once something else
OXY ARTS from 12 February until 11 April, 2026
OXY ARTS, Occidental College's public art space rooted in social justice and community engagement is mounting a solo exhibition by 2025-26 Wanlass Artist in Residence Roksana Pirouzmand. This body of work considers the Los Angeles-based artist’s ongoing inquiry into transformation, interconnectedness, and impermanence. Working with clay and metal, materials born of the earth and shaped by fire, Pirouzmand explores their contrasting qualities. Across her practice, matter becomes a conduit for thinking about cause and effect, fragility and force, and the ways energy moves between bodies, materials, and environments. Presented across two sites, JOAN and OXY ARTS, with staggered openings, the exhibition features a series of new sculptural works linked through vibration and sound.

Wrensilva on Melrose Ave. until Spring 2026
For a completely immersive experience, Wrensilva LA Listening Studio on Melrose has launched a photo and listening installation with more than three decades of music culture and lifestyle photography by Danny Clinch. This installation brings iconic images together with the album covers they helped define, plus the vinyl itself, played on a Wrensilva record console. It’s a rare chance to stand inside the relationship between image, artist, and record. Featured artists include 2Pac, Johnny Cash, Foo Fighters, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, and more, that reveal living documents of artists in their element, images that become inseparable from the songs, the albums, and the eras they helped shape.
Keep Movin’ by Wolfgang Tillmans
Regen Projects 15 January 2026 until 1 March 2026
Following a year of ambitious institutional presentations at the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Haus Cleff, Remscheid; and the Albertinum, Dresden, and the inclusion in the 36th Bienal de São Paulo, this exhibition marks Tillmans’ ninth solo exhibition with the gallery since 1995. Highlights include core themes of the artist’s practice through new photographs, videos, sculptural installations, and a new iteration of Truth Study Center.
Throughout the exhibition, Tillmans emphasizes interconnectedness—between people, materials, histories, and images. His work is marked by a deep sensitivity to the interweaving of past and present, the fragility of seemingly stable structures, and the transformation of matter from one state to another.
American Icon: A Ford Mustang Immersive Experience
Ace Mission Studios™Arts District until 9th February 2026
Los Angeles in an undeniable car culture capital, so the latest design-driven attraction on the city's cultural landscape, is making its World Premiere in LA. The experience also features a film cameo from Captain America himself, Anthony Mackie, a mustang enthusiast, and ideal host for the journey through seven different interactive spaces celebrating the original Pony car's 60th anniversary.
This is not your traditional look-don't-touch museum moment, but rather a multisensory journey through six decades of Mustang legacy — blending cinematic environments, 360-degree projection technology and sculptural set design that feels more like a tech-infused art installation that moves from Motor City industrial grit to a stylized Sunset Boulevard, exploring rare and movie-famous Mustangs up close (Gone in 60 Seconds, Transformers, Kick-Ass), and a short film spotlighting the cultural tastemakers and innovators who shaped the brand. This is an all ages experience.
The AIDS Monument
West Hollywood Park, permanent
With World AIDS Day on 1 December, the City of West Hollywood and the Foundation for the AIDS Monument (FAM) unveiled The AIDS Monument in West Hollywood Park to memorialize those impacted by HIV/AIDS, and will honor the community's activism and the personal stories. Designed by artist Daniel Tobin, the monument will feature a plaza, a donor wall, vertical bronze ‘traces’ with narrative text, integrated lighting reminiscent of a candlelight vigil, and a podium facing N. San Vicente Boulevard, that will function as a public art experience and memorial site.
Robert Therrien: This is a Story
The Broad until 5 April 2026
This is a story, indeed. Featuring 120 artworks spanning five decades, including enormous tables, chairs, and dishes, to intimate drawings of snowmen, birds, and chapels – many made in Therrien’s downtown LA studio in his adopted home of Los Angeles, until his passing in 1990. This location was pivotal to his musings on scale, as the region's sprawling, open spaces allowed him to see the untapped potential of everyday objects. The show will include partial reconstructions of Therrien’s studio environment, like his project tables, drawings, and tools.
JOHN GIORNO: NO NOSTALGIA
Marciano Art Foundation until April 2026
Marciano will reopen its second-floor Window Gallery with an exhibit devoted to the late poet, artist, and activist John Giorno. Known for transposing poetry into the visual, sonic, and performative, the exhibition spans Giorno's early prints to his later text paintings. Works from the 1960s through the 2010s reveal how he merged spiritual clarity with pop immediacy, and how language could heal and become physical. Notably, the exhibition will feature his landmark Dial-A-Poem (1969) recordings, newly reactivated to offer 24-hour access to more than 250 recordings by 132 poets, artists, musicians, and activists. Dial-A-Poem will be accessible through a physical landline within the exhibition, as well as through a QR code that guests may use through their own devices.
TJ Shin. Songs of Emerging Endangerment
Los Angeles State Historic Park until 22 February 2026
Songs of Emerging Endangerment by artist TJ Shin, commissioned by Clockshop, is a sound installation using mimicry to map systems of global migration. 50 participants connected to regions along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway were asked to imitate the calls of endangered bird species that travel the world’s largest bird migratory path. Installed at Los Angeles State Historic Park in a city shaped by Cold War–era urban planning and waves of migration from the Asia-Pacific, the project features a 30-foot-tall sculptural air raid siren that projects a composition of imitated bird calls scheduled throughout the day. The installation is set to sound hourly from dawn to dusk.
Monuments

Horror
Tetsumi Kudo, Untitled, 1962-63
Sprüth Magers until 14 February 2026
While this exhibit of ‘Horror’ is taking place after Halloween, it proves that the theme never really dies for fans of the genre. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers have pulled together a group exhibition organized by Jill Mulleady featuring an intergenerational group of artists. The exhibition presents horror as both symptom and strategy, illuminating seen and unseen forces that inscribe themselves on human experience. Channelling our deepest anxieties whether evoking Cold War paranoia, civil rights conflicts, radiation fears, surveillance anxieties, or the existential dread and hyperreality of our times, the works in the exhibition quietly surface the intimate, often suppressed tensions embedded within collective and individual realities.

The Day Tomorrow Began
LACMA until 29 March 2026
For his upcoming solo at LACMA (his largest in LA and most ambitious to date) Bahamian artist Tavares Strachan takes on alarming efforts to censor institutions and rewrite American history by asking: What happens if, instead of hiding and obscuring the past, we spotlight it and reflect it back on itself?
Strachan does exactly that across his signature immersive installations (including a barbershop, a laundromat, and a rice field) and monumental sculptures, he invites the public to critically rethink the ways in which we represent, discuss, commemorate, and celebrate history, and which histories at that. This exhibit coincides with the lead up to the opening of LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries, housing the 3,000+ works from the museum’s encyclopedic collection. (Later in the month, Strachan’s modern take on commemorative structures will also be on view at MOCA.)

Downtown LA, until 2028
DTLA Alliance, has partnered with Street Art for Mankind (SAM) and the City of Los Angeles to create a public art museum launching in real time starting with three massive murals by acclaimed LA-based artists.

David Flores is creating a massive, vibrant mural on the Los Angeles Athletic Club (LAAC) depicting a skateboarding scene, Emily Ding is bringing to life a powerful and elegant mural of two women walking arm-in-arm on the Figueroa Eight while Shamsia Hassani is crafting a poetic triptych on The Bloc.
Intuit Dome
Inglewood, permanent
One of the most exciting art collections to hit Los Angeles can be found at the new home for the LA Clippers in Inglewood. The cutting-edge sports venue recently unveiled the monumental, site-specific, outdoor artworks commissioned for the Intuit Dome which opens to the public this August. The $11 million public art collection features a collection of globally recognised artists, selected by Ruth Berson, former deputy director of curatorial affairs at SFMOMA, who have deep ties to Los Angeles and intertwine their artistic talents with sports.
Glenn Kaino’s massive sculpture Sails, made of painted steel and wood looms in the form of the clipper ships that connected the world via the ocean’s trade routes. In this ship, basketball is the cultural wind that can connect us all.
Michael Massenburg’s mural of printed porcelain enamel on steel panel features figures of basketball, tennis, and soccer players, singers, musicians, and dancers, titled Cultural Playground expresses the artist’s belief that 'the two most profound things that unite people are the arts and sports.'
Jennifer Steinkamp’s digital artwork Swoosh, uses the entire surface of the Intuit Dome, designed by the architectural firm AECOM, with five animations will transform the surface of the dome and light up the sky with geometric panels.
Patrick Martinez’s sculpture Same Boat uses a neon sign to create an image that reproduces a statement by the late Civil Rights leader Whitney M. Young: “We may have all come on different ships but we’re in the same boat now.”
On a wall adjacent to Same Boat, you will find Kyungmi Shin’s stained-glass mosaic with stainless steel tracery, Spring to Life. For this work, Shin drew inspiration from Centinela Springs, the now-vanished water source in South Los Angeles that once supported the Tongva people and the land they cultivated. (If you would like to see more of Shin’s work, the artist has a solo exhibition at Craft Contemporary until 8, September 2024.)
The Dome opening features an exhibition of photographs by Catherine Opie (on loan from MOCA) evoking the experience of community. “We designed Intuit Dome to be a place that brings people together,” said Gillian Zucker, CEO of Halo Sports & Entertainment. “When it came to our public art, we wanted to deliver a collection that is as compelling to people well versed in art as it is to a novice viewer. We are eager to make these unique works, from these amazing artists, available to everyone.”
Mineo Mizuno: Homage to Nature
The Huntington, Pasadena, until 25 May 2029
The Huntington holds a library with British medieval manuscripts, including the 15th-century Ellesmere tome of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales; 16 themed gardens with more than 83,000 living plants; an art museum and more.
In the main garden area on the vast grounds, Mineo Mizuno’s sculpture celebrates the beauty of wood in its natural state and emphasises its potential as a reusable and renewable resource. This site-specific work explores the fragility of the Earth’s ecosystem, as well as the destruction of the forest and its potential for regeneration.
