Frieze LA 2025 Recap with Eileen Kinsella of Artnet News

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, host Adam Green is
joined by Artnet News Senior Market Reporter Eileen Kinsella to
recap Frieze LA 2025. We discuss the fair’s overall atmosphere, how
the recent wildfires impacted both attendance and the local art
community, and the debate over whether the event should have
proceeded as planned. We also highlight major fundraising efforts
by galleries to support those affected. From a market perspective,
we analyze key sales trends, the growing selectivity among buyers,
and which artists and galleries saw the strongest demand. Beyond
the fair, we dive into the importance of gallery exhibitions across
the city, with standout shows like Kelly Akashi at Lisson Gallery,
Lisa Yuskavage at David Zwirner, and Kohn Gallery’s
40th-anniversary exhibition. Finally, we reflect on the
significance of Frieze LA for the city’s evolving art landscape and
its growing influence within the broader U.S. market.
