Art Project Los Angeles is excited to announce Todd Squires as the featured artist of the sixth annual event, which takes place September 17 at Bonhams in Hollywood. Squires’ photograph, titled “Palm Drops,” was selected in a juried competition and will be featured in the Art Project Los Angeles live auction. Squires and his work will also be highlighted in the event catalog.
Squires is a Los Angeles-based artist who pursues his subjects via an interest in film and cinematography. His works often combine photography, digital art, film, and other media. His book Faster, Jim, a collaborative project with artist Raymond Pettibon, was presented at the Getty Research Institute exhibition The Artist Turns to the Book and is also part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He has shown his work in a number of solo and group exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles.
“Todd’s work is an excellent representation of just how much the camera can capture in moments of everyday life,” Art Project Committee Chair Mark Perrin says. “His work is often both poignant and whimsical. We think his photography is a wonderful embodiment of contemporary art in Los Angeles.”
Art Project Los Angeles kicks off with a cocktail reception and silent auction—which includes photography, paintings, prints, as well as sculpture and other unique pieces. The silent auction is followed by a live auction. In addition to Squires’ selected work, Art Project’s live auction will offer pieces by many renowned artists, including Salvador Dali, Eyvind Earle, and Steve Kaufman, among others.
