Highlights from the Miami art fairs — 2017

Art Fairs

Dec 18

Four days full of art fairs, museum exhibitions and private collections visits. Here are some of the works I found most interesting, grouped by where it was seen.

Art Basel | Miami Beach

*In the back room at Marianne Boesky with Rachel Kay*

*Dashiell Manley at Jessica Silverman Gallery*

*Hew Locke in front of his installation, The Wine Dark Sea at P.P.O.W. gallery*

Artist Hew Locke was at the fair near his installation at P.P.O.W. Gallery. He had another installation we saw later in the day at the Perez Museum titled For Those in Peril on the Sea which consists of scaled-down replicas of ships suspended from the ceiling.

*David Driskell and I in front of two of his works from the 1960s*

Another great artist meeting was with David Driskell at D.C. Moore Gallery. I heard David speak this summer at the Colby Summer Luncheon where the Colby Museum presented him with the 2017 Cummings Award for Artistic Excellence.

Untitled

*Farshad Farzankia, Richard Heller Gallery*

*Jason Middlebrook, Nine Ways to Get Your Groove On at La Montagne Gallery*

Anyone who has been to the Contemporary wing at the MFA Boston has enjoyed the giant mural by Jason Middlebrook called Tread Lightly. At Untitled we saw his painted plank pieces.
