Frieze Los Angeles
February 27–March 1, 2026
Private View: February 26
Booth: C06

Sprüth Magers is pleased to participate in Frieze Los Angeles 2026 with a presentation highlighting the work of John Baldessari, an artist whose work has been a cornerstone of the gallery’s exhibition program since the late 1980s. Influential to generations of imagemakers, both through his art and his decades of teaching at CalArts and UCLA, Baldessari remains an essential part of the fabric of Los Angeles art history and contemporary practice. At Frieze Los Angeles, Sprüth Magers will feature works that illustrate the artist’s inventive use of three-dimensional space, not only within the edges of the picture plane, but also through his approach to sculpture and architecture. While the found photographic source material of Baldessari’s works is decidedly flat, the multidimensional effects he generated using repetition, juxtaposition, over-painting, and installation transforms the spaces in which his art appears. Sprüth Magers’ booth will also be joined by a selection of works by gallery artists in conversation with the Baldessari presentation.
