Vielmetter Los Angeles is excited to announce Matthew Lax as Associate Director. Based in New York, Lax will focus on maintaining and expanding client relationships with the gallery’s East Coast audience, while also working closely with our New York based artists. He will continue the gallery’s commitment to world-class art fair presentations and expand the gallery’s visibility across new platforms.

Lax draws from over six years with the gallery and a decade-long experience living in Los Angeles. In this time, he has closely worked with many of the artists who are foundational to Vielmetter’s program. An accomplished filmmaker and writer himself, Lax previously held positions at Princeton University Art Museum, MASS MoCA, and several other galleries, alongside organizing independent curatorial projects.

Lax has long demonstrated a passion for the arts and interdisciplinary community engagement, and is excited to continue championing the rigorous work for which Vielmetter is known.
