The dealer Emilia Yin, who owns the Hollywood-based gallery Make Room, is a formidable collector in her own right. She owns works by established contemporary artists like the sculptor Tony Matelli, the painter Rachel Howard and the Turner Prize-winner Tomma Abts as well as Modern masters like Giorgio de Chirico, René Magritte, Fernando Botero and Hans Arp. Before the start of a busy Frieze Los Angeles week—when her gallery was due to open a Youngmin Park show and launch a new project by Terence Koh, in addition to mounting an ambitious solo stand by Yeni Mao at the fair—Yin discussed her approach to collecting and tips for out-of-towners.
