CCK, Buenos Aires, Argentina will present renowned Argentinian artist Marta Minujín, who arrives with two of her most emblematic art works: The Parthenon of Books and Rayuelarte.
The LA Art Show will return to the Los Angeles Convention Center from January 23 – 27, 2019. As the city (and West Coast’s) largest art fair, and one of the most diversely programmed in the world, the LA Art Show features the most comprehensive lineup of exhibitors not only in contemporary and modern art, but also classical and other specialized art scenes that often command their own dedicated shows. For its 24th year, the LA Art Show will focus especially on programming from the Pacific Rim. To date, over 120 galleries and exhibitors have been confirmed, from more than 18 countries, hailing from North & South America, Asia and Europe. Many are participating in the LA Art Show for the first time ever.
CORE
CORE is a dedicated space for galleries recognized around the globe as leading the way in contemporary art. The galleries showcasing here continually educate, inspire and enthrall the world’s avid collectors with the most sought-after voices in the market. For the first time ever, Mizuma Art Gallery and Kamiya Co., LTD of Japan, Michael Goedhuis of London, and Galerie Sabine Knust of Germany will be joining the LA Art Show’s roster of exhibiting galleries.

LITTLETOPIA
Littletopia was conceived by Red Truck Gallery founder Noah Antieau and Juxtapoz Magazine co-founder Greg Escalante as a showcase of the best and brightest from the lowbrow and pop art movements, which originated here in Los Angeles. One of the only shows in the world to devote so much programming and space to this kind of work, thousands of attendees pass under Littletopia’s custom archway each year to enter the LA Art Show’s mecca for imaginative, new contemporary voices, and honor the visionary artists who came before. Red Truck Gallery and Caro Buermann of Corey Helford Gallery lead this year’s curatorial efforts.
