art basel 2015 - nova-1

One of the biggest criticisms of art fairs leveled by art lovers is that it is not the proper venue for properly conceived and realized artist exhibitions. Fair booths typically contain a collection of discrete works that are made to be sold and consumed. Art Basel Miami Beach's Positions sector is the response to this criticism. The galleries that show in this part of the fair are given a platform for a single artist to present one major project. This includes installations or exhibitions that include multiple works in a range of media. It allows curators, critics, enthusiasts, and collectors to see projects by artists from around the world. Galleries and artists at Positions included Andrei Koschmieder at Real Fine Arts, Vittorio Brodmann at Galerie Gregor Staiger, Dan Bayles at François Ghebaly Gallery, Sean Paul at Thomas Duncan Gallery, and Jieh G Hur at One and J. Gallery. Discuss Basel Week Miami here.

art basel 2015 - nova-2

The Art Basel fair is known for presenting the best of the best in established blue chip international art. It is also a place where collectors, curators, and enthusiasts can also discover new artists as well. The Nova sector of the fair is designed for galleries to present one, two or three artists showing works created within the last three years. It features strong associations and fresh, never-before-seen pieces from the artist's studio to each gallery's booths. Galleries and artists exhibiting in this sector include Michael Jon Gallery with Egan Frantz, Freedman Fitzpatrick with Tobias Madison, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, Pilar Corrias with Ken Okiishi, Rachel Rose, Alice Theobald, Essex Street with Park McArthur, Cameron Rowland, and Supportico Lopez with Charlie Billingham. Discuss Basel Week Miami here.

art basel 2015 - nada-39

During Basel Week Miami, the second must-visit fair right behind Art Basel Miami Beach every year is NADA Miami Beach. Focusing on younger galleries and artists, NADA typically contains more fresh to market works, surprising finds, and new discoveries. Located for the first time this year at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel, it includes exhibitors from 32 cities in 15 different countries, and 21 first-time participants. Next year's edition of the fair will be even bigger, as it expands to another section of the hotel. For now though, check out our images from this year's fair. Pictured above: Anna Betbeze piece at Markus Luttgen. Discuss Basel Week Miami here.
