In response to recent wildfires affecting the Los Angeles art community, Frieze launched fire-relief initiatives, notably the Galleries Together for the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund. Notably, the Victoria Miro gallery contributed by donating its exhibition space to showcase works by local artists. This initiative aims to provide support to artists in need, with a significant portion of sales directed towards the relief fund. Events surrounding the exhibition fostered a sense of community among attendees, emphasizing the importance of solidarity during these challenging times.
All of us were holding our breath, even during install. This is the exact event we need right now; I've seen a lot of warm hugs.
Victoria Miro sold both of its offerings on Friday (21 February)-the paintings Made in Cambodia (2024), by the Long Beach-born Tidawhitney Lek, and Jemima Murphy's Life in Violet (2024)-each for between $15,000 and $20,000.
A significant portion of the stand's sales will be donated to the fund to support artists in immediate need in the wake of the Eaton and Palisades wildfires.
In an act of solidarity, the London-based gallery Victoria Miro donated its stand to galleries showing mostly Angeleno artists.
