Los Angeles, California.- The LA Art Show returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center from January 18th through January 22nd 2012. The Los Angeles Art Show will have a new vision for its January 2012 art event, and will debut two separate shows, The Los Angeles Fine Art Show: Historic and Traditional (HAT) and the LA Art Show: Modern & Contemporary (MAC).

The Los Angeles Fine Art Show: Historic & Traditional features galleries that offer significant, quality paintings and sculpture to the discerning collector. From 18th century European to contemporary realism - from California plein air to the Hudson River School, this show presents varied yet complimentary genres and celebrates artists who continue to explore respected regional styles. “Collectors who are drawn to ‘traditional art’ are not simply interested in works from a particular time period. They often appreciate representational art from many periods. They’ve crafted the Los Angeles Fine Art Show: Historic & Traditional to include galleries and works that these collectors will find appealing. They’ll be able to view an entire art fair focused on the art they are looking for, whether it’s French Academic, Taos School, Urban and Industrial Realism, Barbizon, or Contemporary Realism” states Kim Martindale, show producer. Under new direction, the Los Angeles Art Show: Historic & Traditional will be produced and operated by the Los Angeles Art Show, an LLC Partnership between Art Miami, LLC and Kim Martindale, General Manager. This powerful alliance represents a focused investment for the Art Miami team, merging the considerable assets of these bi-coastal shows and elevating outreach to new levels.


The LA Art Show: Modern & Contemporary features bold and exciting work from today's great artists and influential visionaries. Bringing together respected galleries from around the world, the show creates a vibrant atmosphere that examines the present while formulating the future and is committed to showing the highest quality works ranging from Ed Ruscha, John Baldessari, Henry Moore, Sebastião Salgado, David Hockney, Judy Chicago, Roy Lichtenstein, Arshile Gorky, Jim Dine, Andy Warhol, Fernando Botero and others. Once an encyclopedic show, the new LA Art Show is focused on the immediate past as well as today's and tomorrow's contemporary trends, honed and edited to showcase top caliber galleries featuring modern and contemporary works by established and emerging artists. Under new direction, the LA Art Show: Modern & Contemporary will be produced and operated by the Los Angeles Art Show, an LLC Partnership between Art Miami, LLC. and Kim Martindale, General Manager.

This powerful alliance represents a focused investment for the Art Miami team, merging the considerable assets of these bi-coastal shows and elevating outreach to new levels. This show meets the needs of the global gallery community and provides heightened opportunities for serious collectors, as well as the local arts community. Designed to showcase forward thinking artists, this exciting new show will feature performance pieces, mixed media and video installations, photography, paintings and sculptures, and a series of curated special exhibitions.
