As in past editions of Frieze Los Angeles, celebrities abound at this year’s fair, held at the Santa Monica Airport. Here’s a rundown of star sightings that we’ve made and had reported to us by sources.
Actor and comedian Will Ferrell was front and center at the fair with wife Viveca Paulin, who is a known collector and a trustee at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The couple attended a breakfast hosted by the fair before checking out the art.
Actors and brothers Owen and Luke Wilson were also spotted laughing as they strolled together through the fair. Actress Sara Gilbert, who currently stars in the TV series The Conners, was seen clutching a map as she roamed the aisles.
Sources tell us a number of actors were in attendance, including the Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who was listed on ARTnews’s Top 200 Collectors list in 2016 and 2017. Additionally in attendance were Robert Downey Jr. (nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Oppenheimer), Rob Lowe (currently staring in 9-1-1: Lone Star), Tobey Maguire (known for portraying Spider-Man), and Jeremy Pope. We also hear that writer and director Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, Glee) and tennis player Aryna Sabalenka made appearances at the fair.
Prominent art collectors in attendance at Frieze this time include ARTnews Top 200 Collectors Komal Shah, Pamela Joyner, Ric Whitney and Tina Perry-Whitney, and Steve and Jamie Tisch.
