Lehmann Maupin returns to Frieze Los Angeles with a special presentation of new and historical works from across the gallery’s program. Highlights include a selection of works that illustrate Liza Lou’s rigorous exploration of materiality and beauty that bridges fine art and craft; a new painting by Lari Pittman, ahead of his solo presentation inaugurating the opening of Lehmann Maupin’s expanded location in Seoul; a suite of new drawings by Brooklyn-based artist Arcmanoro Niles; and a sphere by Light & Space pioneer Helen Pashgian, coinciding with her retrospective Presences at SITE Santa Fe. The booth will also include work by Ashley Bickerton, McArthur Binion, Teresita Fernández, Gilbert & George, Lee Bul, Catherine Opie, Angel Otero, Do Ho Suh, and Nari Ward.

Central to our presentation is Liza Lou’s Into the Mountains (2021), a large-scale work created from a labor-intensive process of painting, layering, smashing, and mending glass beads in dense, multi-layered compositions. Known for her extensive body of work primarily utilizing glass beads—including the room-sized installation Kitchen (1991–96) on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York—Lou has exposed the conceptual potential of the medium. Also on view is Going to California (2021), a work that responds to Lou’s newfound home—the California high desert.
