Art Los Angeles Contemporary 2011
The art fair offered visitors a cross section of what is happening now in contemporary art making. A majority of the participating dealers showcased fresh emerging talents, although the show was peppered with recent works by established artists. Over 70 U.S. and international galleries exhibited at Barker Hanger at the Santa Monica Airport for the second year of Art Los Angeles Contemporary.
