Since its debut in 2019, Frieze Los Angeles has become a linchpin for the city’s art scene, a fact that is all the more evident in the aftermath of the fires.
Here, we present the 10 best booths from Frieze Los Angeles 2025.
Booth F4
With works by Xin Liu
The centerpiece of Los Angeles tastemaker Make Room’s standout booth is Artsy Vanguard 2025 artist Xin Liu’s Theater of Metamorphosis (2024), a remarkable triptych featuring a bronze cast of the artist’s mouth mounted on a fleshlike canvas. Part of her “cryo body” series, this system draws moisture from the air to transform the appearance of the work over time, playing with themes of the body and self-preservation.
Another piece from the same series, Primula Flowers (2024), features an identical bronze mouth against a canvas of skin-like resin painted in soft blues and reds that are reminiscent of veins. For the artist and Make Room founder Emilia Yin, these works resonate with Los Angeles’s health-obsessed culture.
