For Frieze Los Angeles 2024, our presentation interprets and subverts the meaning of "oasis" from a diverse range of perspectives. Works by contemporary artists—including Amoako Boafo, Daniel Crews-Chubb, Noah Davis, Lenz Geerk, Suchitra Mattai, Collins Obijiaku, Betye Saar, Ed Templeton and Brenna Youngblood—conjure sensations of relief that nurture the human spirit while contemplating the hardships from which we seek refuge.
A major highlight of our booth is Betye Saar's neon work Oasis, which debuted at MOCA Los Angeles in 1984. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Saar's transcendent solo exhibition, which featured room sized installations that shared profound insight into ritual, spirituality and African American identity.
