12th Los Angeles Annual Show

The Barker Hangar, Santa Monica

80 Renowned International Dealers to Present Five Centuries of Art at Prestigious Annual Exhibition

After Record Sales and Attendance Last Year, 12th Annual Los Angeles Art Show Becomes a Highly Anticipated Event

Los Angeles (December 2006)—The acclaimed Los Angeles Art Show, presented by the Fine Art Dealers Association (FADA), returns to the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport, Wednesday, January 24 through Sunday, January 28, 2007. Collectors and the general public will be able to view “Five Centuries of Fine Art" from around the world, all available for purchase.

Eighty top international galleries will display Old Masters, 19th Century, modern and contemporary works of art. In response to the popularity of the show, this year an additional 32,000 square foot pavilion space will be built adjacent to the Hangar to supplement the added gallery participation and guest attendance. Proceeds from the Los Angeles Art Show Opening Night Gala, held Wednesday evening, January 24, 2007, will be used by the Art Museum Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) to underwrite the 2007 exhibit, The Arts in Latin America, 1492-1820.

Considered one of the most prestigious annual expositions in the United States, the Los Angeles Art Show is returning for its 12th year after record sales and attendance at last year’s show. The Los Angeles Art Show’s outstanding reputation is based on the high quality and variety of fine art presented by a carefully selected group of galleries. All works are vetted for authenticity by authorities in the fields represented at the show. Vetting is made possible by sponsorship from FADA.

The Los Angeles Art Show caters to the novice and advanced collector alike, offering a unique chance to view and purchase works of the highest quality, spanning many styles and a broad price range. Actress Diane Keaton, a longtime Los Angeles Art Show patron, comments on the event, “I look forward to the Los Angeles Art Show every year."

Once again, the Los Angeles Art Show will be a city-wide event, with several local museum exhibitions included in its calendar. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Autry National Center, Irvine Museum, Los Angeles Art Association Gallery 825, Museum of Latin American Art (MoLAA), Ventura County Museum of History and Art and others, have confirmed their on-site participation. Approximately 20,000 visitors and dozens of media representatives are expected to attend the 2007 show.

“The Fine Art Dealers Association is proud to celebrate the 12th anniversary of The Los Angeles Art Show. The exhibition has gained tremendous momentum with record-setting attendance and sales," says Howard Rehs, President of the Fine Arts Dealers Association (FADA). “The public is really responding to the expanded focus of the show and the variety and quality of the art. The show and the arts and culture scene in Southern California are really coming into their own."

The 2007 Los Angeles Art Show lecture series will feature distinctive voices from the art world, speaking on a variety of relevant topics. This year’s dynamic lecture series and symposia topics will include: Designing with Art, How Art Can Change Your Life, What Collectors and Dealers Need to Know about Holocaust Era Looted Art, How to Look at Art Without Feeling Inferior, Panel of noted Artist on the Art Scene in LA.
