BARRY MCGEE, 99¢ ONLY TAKEOVER

Legendary artist Barry McGEE fills the abandoned 99¢ retail space on Wishire blvd with personal artwork, and that of friends, in signature patchwork order all as part of a pre-Frieze week opening.

As show space is all but plentiful in Los Angeles, McGee and gallery partner Kathy Grayson brought the once was store back to life (February 22 - March 1, 2026). Buzzing fluorescent lights, pegboard aisle display racks and 99¢ color branded checkered floor still in place. The artwork contrast to the makeshift gallery presented a truly unique event that reminds us that we only need a meeting place to collectively celebrate.

A great capture of the show can be found at L.A. Taco Check it
