James Fuentes on His Gallery Expansion to LA

In this week's episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, we chat with James Fuentes, owner of James Fuentes. First, we ask James about what went into the decision to open a gallery space in Los Angeles (in addition to their existing New York space) as well as what appealed to him about the LA art scene. Then, he discussed the similarities and differences between working with the younger artists at the gallery versus the very established artists and artist estates. After, James discusses the broader state of the art market at this time as we head into Frieze LA week. Also, he identifies some of the differences between the New York and Los Angeles art markets. Lastly, James previews his upcoming exhibition at the Los Angeles gallery, a solo exhibition of work by the artist Geoffrey Holder.
