Explore Sir Brett-Livingstone Strong’s $2.4B monument, Richard Orlinski’s residency, and the AI/Web3 creator revolution in this special Frieze LA 2026 edition
BEVERLY HILLS, CA, UNITED STATES, February 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ACCA Art and Media Company proudly announces the release of Issue 28 of its premier publication, ACCA JOURNAL. This exclusive special edition is dedicated to the upcoming Frieze Los Angeles 2026, capturing the distinctive vibrancy and interconnected community of the Los Angeles art scene as the fair returns to the Santa Monica Airport from February 26 to March 1, 2026.
This commemorative issue features dual cover stories on two of the world’s most influential creative forces: Sir Brett-Livingstone Strong and Richard Orlinski.
A Monumental Vision for Los Angeles Featured artist Sir Brett-Livingstone Strong, the renowned Australian-born sculptor sponsored into the U.S. by John Wayne, is highlighted for his role as the visionary behind the City of Angels Monument. This $2.4 billion structure, funded entirely through private patrons and the City of Angels Monument Foundation, will stand taller than the Statue of Liberty and is slated for a grand unveiling on September 4, 2031, marking the city’s 250th anniversary.
The issue also unveils Strong’s historic “1967 Tribute to Marilyn in Red,” a masterpiece created when the artist was a teenager. A limited edition of this work is now available to celebrate Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday on June 1, 2026. Additionally, the journal explores the Jackson-Strong Alliance, a 30-year creative partnership with Michael Jackson, including the development of a 12-foot monumental bronze statue of the King of Pop.
Global Best-Seller Richard Orlinski at ARC Beverly The edition celebrates Richard Orlinski, the world’s best-selling French contemporary artist since 2015. ACCA announces a landmark year-long residency for Orlinski at ARC Beverly, located at 9800 Wilshire Blvd. Running from February 25, 2026, through January 2027, the exhibition features Orlinski’s iconic “Born Wild” faceted sculptures, including his signature Wild Kong and Panther series, placed in a dynamic environment where art is lived, not just viewed.
