The 15th anniversary of Art Miami leads the fair in a very exciting direction. In a time where contemporary art fairs play an increasingly important role in the international market, Art Miami’s identity in South Florida becomes even clearer.
Once seen as a primarily Latin American fair for a Latin market, Art Miami has now tipped the scale toward a truly international fair that presents a broad spectrum of artwork accessible to all levels of collecting. This year’s show features nearly an equal number of participants from Europe and North America, while a smaller percentage of galleries come from Latin America.
Art Miami strives to provide visitors with the excitement of discovering new trends, new artists and new galleries that help build awareness of today’s art world. This year Art Miami proudly fulfills its mission of offering a broad spectrum of artwork accessible to all levels of collecting.
Please join us January 6-10 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, during the height of Miami’s beautiful winter season, where you will have an opportunity to acquire some of the finest paintings, sculptures, photographs, and museum quality works in glass.
