Hauser Wirth & Schimmel opened in downtown LA this last weekend. The inaugural show “Revolution in the Making, Abstract Sculpture by Women, 1947-2016,” features almost a hundred works ranging from pioneering female artists.
Watch curator Paul Schimmel discuss LA’s new art space.
There are several art fairs going on in and around LA this weekend. Most started earlier in the week, but you still have time to hit a bunch of them before they end.
Yesterday I checked out Art Los Angeles Contemporary at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica. I was amused by this Brian Bress video installation shown above and wanted to share with you. I have my other highlights from the show featured on my instagram here.
LA Art Show 2016 is at the Convention Center downtown LA with their sister show, Los Angeles Fine Art Show across the Hall. The Paramount Ranch in Augora Hills is going on as well, ends Sunday.

Going on now thru January 24th, the international photographic art exposition – photo l.a. – celebrates its 25th anniversary at The REEF, located in the historic LA Mart building in Downtown Los Angeles.
photo l.a. has a long and rich history of bringing the photographic and arts communities together. Each year they expand their uniquely diverse showcase of photographic art, ranging from 19th Century works to contemporary and innovative photo-based art. Galleries, dealers, museums, schools, and non-profit organizations participate to define what photography has been, what it is today, and what it might evolve into. To foster a dialogue they curate and present our acclaimed programming, which includes lectures, roundtable discussions, special installations, and docent tours with distinguished members of the photography/arts community.

In case you noticed, I’ve been MIA on Design*ByProxy, pretty much the whole summer. Well, I’m back now and I’m want to play a little catch up. It’s been a summer of music festivals, traveling in Europe, and a few unfortunate events that had to do with the family pets.
Before I went MIA I did attend a few events. One was a cocktail party in celebration of The Elder Statesman and The Webster Miami’s T-shirt collaboration. The Elder Statesman is a Los Angeles based luxury lifestyle label founded in 2007 by Greg Chait. Specializing in high end cashmere goods, Greg’s line includes items for men, women, kids, accessories and items for the home like blankets and pillows.
The party was cool, with the likes of Balthazar and Rosetta Getty, Anthony Keidis of Red Hot Chili Peppers and designer Magda Berliner, most sipping on the free tequila and conversations centered around Coachella that was happening the following weekend.
