Curated Acquisitions in the Desert

While Frieze dominates the headlines, the shrewd collector knows that Intersect Palm Springs (Feb 12-16, 2026) offers a more intimate, discovery-driven environment. Held at the Palm Springs Convention Center, this fair focuses on the crossover between contemporary art and design objects.

The VIP Preview on February 12th is essential. It allows for first refusal on works from emerging artists that have not yet reached the inflated price points of the primary Los Angeles or New York markets. It is an excellent venue for diversification.

Art financing is a complex field. If you are looking to expand your collection at Intersect, Beverly Loan Company offers bespoke lending solutions against your existing fine art collection.
