This week on the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green speaks with New York Times Culture Reporter Robin Pogrebin about the devastating impact of the recent fires in Los Angeles on the city’s art community. They discuss how artists, collectors, and institutions have been affected, as well as the art world’s inspiring efforts to provide support. The conversation also explores how Frieze LA has transformed the city’s art scene, creating a vibrant cultural ecosystem that extends beyond the fair itself to include museums, galleries, and studio visits. Robin shares insights on the challenges and opportunities facing LA’s gallery scene, common misconceptions about the local art market, and what makes it distinct from other art hubs like New York. With Frieze Week approaching, they discuss the potential for the fairs to bring the art world together in solidarity, supporting the recovery of LA’s art community.
