LA’s must-see art exhibitions for 2022
August 08, 2022
Creative masterminds from across the world come together this year in Los Angeles. Here we delve into the city’s best art and cultural exhibitions this season.
Infinity Mirrored Room
A favourite of LA’s contemporary art scene, The Broad is a modern building, which is a striking piece of art itself. Explore works by well-known artists including Andy Warhol and Cindy Sherman, as well as diverse contributions from emerging artists. You can also see the much anticipated return of ‘Infinity Mirrored Room – The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away’, by Yayoi Kusama, a room completely covered with mirrors and dozens of flashing LED lights hanging from the ceiling to great effect.

Buffalo Soldiers in California
This historical display unpacks the romanticism behind the Buffalo Soldiers, regiments of Black soldiers who served on the Western frontier in the late 19th century. Through artifacts, audio interviews, photographs, uniforms and newspapers, learn how both their personal and working lives shaped California during a time of government-sanctioned racial segregation. This insightful exhibition confronts their role in conflict against indigenous populations.
Until October 30
California African American Museum

Louis Vuitton’s 200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries
Celebrating the bicentennial birthday of Louis Vuitton, this exhibition has already been displayed at the fashion designer’s historical home in Asnières-sur-Seine, France, then Marina Bay in Singapore, before landing in Los Angeles. Creators as diverse as architect Frank Gehry, K-pop group BTS, activist Gloria Steinem and astrologist Susan Miller seized the opportunity to reimagine the iconic Louis Vuitton trunk in their own original ways. This is your chance to see the creations before they go on auction at Sotheby’s later this year.
Until September 6

Beverly Hills, CA90210
Andrea Bowers
Featuring more than 60 works by LA-based artist Andrea Bowers, this exhibition celebrates more than two decades of her work and experimentation across a range of mediums. Bowers is known for harmonising her artistic practice with activism and advocacy on issues ranging from immigration and women’s rights to climate change. The exhibition shines a spotlight on themes of social inequality through artefacts used in protests, video, large installations and light art.

A hidden sanctuary amongst the wooded hills, untouched by the clamour of life beyond the gates of Bel-Air. The most quintessentially private and exclusive hotel, delivering low-key elegance since 1946.
