Notes: Returning to Felix, Frieze Los Angeles and The Future Perfect
Uncovering inspiration at three of the most compelling art and design destinations in the global circuit
I missed Los Angeles Art Week in 2023 for one very good reason: I wanted to attend my husband’s ceremony to become an American citizen here at home in New York City. This year, with no conflict of such magnitude present, I made my way back to LA and, prior to joining a slate of events organized by BMW in celebration of their latest color-changing concept car, I moved into the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. I chose the Hollywood Roosevelt because it recently underwent a series of impressive renovations (which included two spectacular penthouse suites by Los Angeles-based firm Kevin Klein Design) and because it hosts the Felix Art Fair. I wanted to maximize time with colleagues beside the pool (which features underwater embellishments by David Hockney) and have the earliest access to explorations through gallery installations tucked into poolside bungalows and throughout guest rooms in two floors of the tower. Every time I attend Felix, I leave feeling refreshed.
