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."

voices from the art world, speaking on a variety of relevant topics. This
year’s dynamic lecture series and symposia topics will include: Designing
