The Historic Greenview Hotel, Located 1/2 Block From The Miami Beach Convention Center
Verge Art Miami Beach 2011 edition will premier at the 45-room Greenview Hotel, the closest hotel of all the satellite fairs in Miami Beach to Art Basel, located a mere half a block from the Miami Beach Convention Center. “It’s a more serious location. Our move to the Greenview positions us square atop the welcome mat to Art Basel,” says owner Michael Workman. “You can look out the front door of the Convention Center and see us waving back.” Besides being closer to the main event collector traffic on Washington Avenue, the Greenview is also a stunning setting for galleries and artists projects, with clean, flat white walls throughout, breezy spacious suites more conducive to a classic true white-cube exhibition environment.
Verge is an international platform for the most exciting and interesting in new and emerging art. Verge exists to establish boundaries of the extraordinary as a counter to the natural compulsion towards stagnation in the way art is evaluated and delivered to the public. Staying true to this necessary state for the advancement of art requires a sustained focus on the best new ideas and practices of those marginal or newly emerging to international art audiences. The satisfaction of this fixed requirement for a healthy and competitive artistic culture is at the core of Verge as an international exposition of the highest quality artistic production and the galleries, museums and audiences who sustain it.
