Art collector Diane Allen had the general feeling that people were buying more despite the slowdown in the economy. “At 10 am on Thursday, some of the galleries had sold out everything during the first VIP hour, between celebrities like JLo, this was the time for the final deals. When I bought the smaller edition of a print by Wolfgang Tillmanns, I was happy I jumped in immediately as all 10 prints sold out fast.”

Diane Allen, a renowned collector of art and owner of 23rd Street Jewelers, sees ALAC as L.A.’s more accessible and affordable art fair.
“This is my 10th year of coming to my local fair. It’s very accessible and does not have to be an all-day commitment — although I have made it an all-day commitment ending at the bar in the back with friends. I know a lot of the gallery owners, so it's interesting to see who is showing. A lot of the international artists that I didn’t know I’ve looked at today — a lot of Parisians,” said Allen. “It’s intimate. It's the size of it. It's the accessibility of the art. It’s at a price point that is more affordable. This is like a friendly art fair. Its more local and low-key.”
Allen sees the recent growth in the Los Angeles art world as a response to recent politics: “My summation of what’s happening in the art world: politics is disgusting and boring. The art world is alive and youthful and exciting and forward-thinking.”
