FRIEZE LOS ANGELES
BOOTH A07
SANTA MONICA AIRPORT
February 26 - March 1, 2026
Perrotin is pleased to participate in Frieze Los Angeles 2026 with series by Daniel Arsham and Paul Pfeiffer, alongside a selection of work by Young-Il Ahn, Sophie Calle, Julian Charrière, Alex Gardner, Todd Gray, JR, Bharti Kher, Mr. X Takashi Murakami, Takashi Murakami, Jean-Michel Othoniel, and Paola Pivi.
Paul Pfeiffer recasts the visual language of pop spectacle to investigate how media images shape our perception of the world and ourselves, often drawn to moments intended for mass audiences. The body of work on view at Frieze, titled Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, uses NBA photographs as source material, which he then alters—removing team names or any reference to the sport—to reveal a solitary figure before a crowd of onlookers. The title of the series is an art historical reference to the woodcuts of Albrecht Dürer, an innovator in the representation of the human body, as well as a biblical allusion to the figures that will appear when the world comes to an end at Armageddon.
Daniel Arsham presents two works on the front of the booth that are part of his Labyrinth series. Composed in cast sand, Arsham’s Stairs in a Labyrinth draws influence from artists like M.C. Escher and Renee Magritte’s maze-like works, creating a sculptural double portrait that transforms as you move around the piece. Alongside the sculpture, Arsham presents a still life painting of similar busts in a landscape setting where the past and future are revealed in unexpected ways. On March 5, he will open an exhibition at Perrotin New York.
The gallery will present work by artists with current or upcoming shows in California: Takashi Murakami currently on view at the gallery through March 14, as well as Todd Gray and JR opening in March. And, a work by Bharti Kher, who is set to receive a solo show in 2027 at LAMCA, making her the first living Indian artist to be given a solo exhibition at the museum. Finally, Sophie Calle whose concurrent exhibition at UC Irvine Langson Orange County Museum of Art is on view through May 24.
An artwork by Julian Charrière, titled Buried Sunshines Burn, dives into the residues of industrialization, exploring the history of oil extraction and delirium of the petroleum industry. From a bird’s eye perspective, the series surveys Californian oil fields, where the subterranean discovery of petroleum in the late 19th century transfigured a vast and desolate Los Angeles basin.
Also on view at Perrotin’s booth will be works by Iván Argote, Roberto Benavidez, Gabriel de La Mora, Julia von Eichel, Nancy Graves, Charles Hascoët, Gabriel Rico, Mark Ryden, Cinga Samson, AYA TAKANO, and Pieter Vermeersch.
Concurrently, at Perrotin Los Angeles, Takashi Murakami presents Hark Back to Ukiyo-e: Tracing Superflat to Japonisme's Genesis until March 14. Through 24 new paintings, Murakami explores the relationship of Japanese Ukiyo-e to Impressionism and its lasting influence on the global art scene in the late 1800s. Accompanying the exhibition, through February 28, the gallery opened a store with limited editions by the artist.
And, during Los Angeles Art Week, the gallery presents PAGING DR. FEELGOOD at MC+ Design Studio/Studio Dardo located in West Hollywood.
