Few things that can brighten up a dreary winter day like a cup of steamy, sweet hot chocolate. The art of making cocoa is a time-honored and highly prized skill that has practitioners in almost every corner of the world. However, few, if any, chocolate artistes ply their trade with as much world-renowned fame and skill as those that dwell in the cozy center of Europe’s confectionary heartland: France.
France is where two culinary fans of refined artisanal cuisine were nurtured and raised, but it took a trip across the Atlantic Ocean and a move to Southern California before they could meet and turn their mutual passion into reality. Sabrina and Hugo Barthe opened Chocolatine Tearoom in 2004, and since then their devotion to their customers and their fare have earned them a reputation as some of the finest purveyors of hot chocolate all throughout the Southland.

As Los Angeles emerges as a leading cultural hub, the city’s artists, galleries, museums, curators and advisors continue to define a movement that’s attracting—and retaining—the world’s most inspiring visionaries. With fearless talent and a community that offers unabashed support, L.A. is not only a place to be for serious artists and collectors, it is the place to be.
REBEL WITH A CAUSE
Artist Analia Saban defies labels in her quest for self-expression.
“I live out of my carry-on bag,” says Analia Saban. The 34-year-old Buenos Aires-born artist has just rushed into her studio—an airy Santa Monica space she inherited from her mentor, artist John Baldessari—from a German lesson and is packing to leave for New York. Then it’s off to Dusseldorf, where she teaches at the prestigious Kunstakademie, before returning to L.A., a cycle she’s repeated for over a year. She switches genres just as seamlessly. Currently working in marble for a February exhibition at New York’s Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, Saban also has pieces in LACMA’s current show, Variations: Conversations in and Around Abstract Painting. In 2012, she walked off with the Rudin Prize for Emerging Photographers. “If I think I’m getting a bit too comfortable, then I want to push myself,” Saban says. “She’s experimenting with materials in an interesting way, often making them do things that you don’t expect,” says MOCA curator Bennett Simpson. Nancy Meyer, who co-curated the LACMA show, agrees: “Her work challenges the confines of what a painting or a sculpture is meant to be.” The one label Saban does celebrate is being an Angeleno. “I can’t say enough good things about how lucky artists are here. The weather, affordability and resources for fabrication are limitless. And then there are the institutions. I can finish a body of work, call some curators and they just show up.” There’s a word for that: talented.
