PRESS RELEASE:
Miami Project art fair closed Sunday, December 8 with record-breaking sales and attendance. More than 25,000 people visited the fair (a 25% increase over last years’ attendance), of which 4,000 came for the VIP preview. The fair donated over $25,000 to MOCA Miami from ticket sales at the opening night preview, and raised over $5,000 for art nonprofits across the country through a popup holiday shop selling artist-made merchandise beginning at $10.

Mark Moore of Mark Moore Gallery said: “Everything we’ve sold with one exception has been to new collectors. Considering that we’ve done Miami fairs for the past 10 years, that’s a significant accomplishment.” The gallery placed a work by Penelope Umbrico with a prominent Florida museum collection, and sold work by Julie Heffernan, Julie Oppermann, Allison Schulnik, Andrew Schoultz, Ryan Wallace, and Ben Weiner to individuals.

Many dealers commented on the quality of the visitors to the fair. Quint Contemporary placed work with trustees of LA MoCA, the Broad Art Museum, and MoCA San Diego. By midday Sunday they had confirmed sales of multiple works by Mel Bochner, Peter Alexander, Gisela Colón, and the entire edition of a work by Adam Bell. Notable collectors including Beth Rudin DeWoodyDon and Mira Rubell, and Marty Margulies visited the fair, as did art world figures like Hans Ulrich Obrist and Carter Foster. Andrea Zieher of ZieherSmith said: “There was a strong museum presence, as well as lots of great consultants buying and doing research and development.”

“I’ve done fairs for 9 years and I have the biggest affinity for the spirit of this one, and the other work been shown” said Walter Maciel of the eponymous gallery. “I’ve exceeded my sales goals here and this fair gave me a positive outlook for 2014.” Most exhibitors said that collectors were interested in a comprehensive range of work from their booths, rather than inquiring about a single artist. Julie Saul of the eponymous gallery said that: “I sold something by each artist in my booth, to new and existing clients. We like the atmosphere of this fair.” She also sold photographs by Arne Svenson to a curator and a trustee of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. Steven Kasher Gallery sold many photographs, among which were vintage prints by Diane Arbus. “It was a great crowd and a smart audience,” said a representative from that gallery.

Joshua Liner of Joshua Liner Gallery said, “I felt that the quality of the contacts we made at this fair was far superior to anything we’ve participated in, in Miami before.”

A painting by Jemima Kirke, a painter who became the breakout star of the hit TV show Girls, was sold to a Miami-based collector by Fouladi Projects. Tibor de Nagy Gallery placed a painting by Joseph Albers, a sculpture by Kathy Butterly, and a large painting by Nell Blaine with private collections.

“Exhibitors were thrilled with who came to look and who came to buy,” said Max Fishko, cofounder of Miami Project. “They were overwhelmed by how many curators and trustees from major institutions came through. The second edition of Miami Project was a major success and we will definitely be back with a similar roster in 2014.”

“We were pleased but not surprised by the heavy volume of sales and major interest in the fair from across a wide spectrum of art professionals and collectors,” said Jeffrey Wainhause, cofounder of Miami Project.

Miami Project is presented with support from the Wall Street Journal, Luxe magazine, the Midtown Doral, and Porcelanosa.

PRESS RELEASE:
In its 24th year, Art Miami, the leading international contemporary and modern art fair that takes place each December during Miami Art Week, and CONTEXT, the sister fair to Art Miami, closed with record-breaking attendance and impressive sales that exceeded 2012 reported sales figures. Many of the works sold to established as well as new collectors, museum professionals, private and corporate collections, cultural foundations, dealers, art advisors and consultants. More than 72,500 attendees visited Art Miami and CONTEXT throughout the week with more than 13,600 patrons attending the exclusive VIP Preview on Tuesday, Dec. 3, which benefited the Pérez Art Museum Miami. Additionally, more than 400 international members of the press attended and reported on the fairs.

Known as two of the most important annual contemporary art events in the United States, Art Miami and CONTEXT together showcased artists from more than 200 leading galleries representing 70 cities from 20 countries. The energy and enthusiasm of collectors were palpable as they acquired important works by established, emerging and mid-career, cutting edge artists. Several dealers sold out of their stock and had to rehang their walls as sculptures, photographs, paintings and video installations sold and resold multiple times. The open atmosphere between both fairs created an exciting and spirited dialogue between artists, galleries and collectors, and allowed for established galleries as well as emerging galleries to present classic, contemporary and emergent talent. The enormous turnout and acquisitions once again marked Art Miami and CONTEXT as the most high-trafficked fairs in the city of Miami.

Director Frej Forsblom of Galerie Forsblom in Finland said, “We are really happy with the results of this year’s fair. We sold more artwork than in 2012 at Art Miami. The quality of Art Miami is steadily improving each year with a higher caliber of galleries and art.”

Hollis Taggart, President of Hollis Taggart Galleries, said, “This year’s Art Miami fair was a huge success in terms of attendance and sales. Our gallery sold 15 works, most all of them to new collectors. This year’s fair had a more international flavor, with sales being made to several European collectors and to South American collectors, which is something new for us. All of our colleagues likewise reported strong sales and everyone came away from this show very pleased. It seems that many collectors who attend the Art Basel show in the Miami Convention Center have ‘discovered’ our Art Miami show, and many came over and bought from this fair. There is no question that Art Miami has a huge momentum, and I suspect this year’s edition broke all records for sales and attendance. Art Miami has become a recognized leader in the world of art fairs and is a force to be reckoned with. ”

Starting with the VIP Preview, art enthusiasts queued up in anticipation of the exhibitions. Throughout the fairs, the pavilions at Art Miami and CONTEXT were filled with some of the biggest names in the art world.

Among the dealers reporting six-and-seven-figure sales were Galerie von Vertes, Galerie Forsblom, Mayoral, Samuel Osborne, Armand Bartos Fine Art, Waterhouse & Dodd, Cernuda Arte, Allan Stone Gallery, Hollis Taggart Galleries, Michael Goedhuis, Antoine Helwaser Gallery, Simon Capstick-Dale Fine Art, Modernism, McCormick Gallery, DIE Galerie, Mark Borghi Fine Art and others.

Miami resident Dennis Scholl, Vice President of the Arts for the Knight Foundation and avid collector of contemporary art for more than three decades, said that since Nick Korniloff took over as director, he has seen the quality of the art improve with more blue chip material. But also important has been the fair’s outreach to the local art community. “It has our namesake in it,” Scholl said. “It’s called Art Miami and it’s been around for a long time, but it has become very welcoming to the community. You have to give Nick credit for getting both of those pieces of the fair right.”

While attending the fairs, VIP attendees enjoyed many exciting, special events:
Guests were welcomed at the Maserati VIP Lounge where they enjoyed casual Italian cuisine and an interactive display of the all-new Quattroporte and the Ghibli S Q4 All-Wheel Drive.

We must also acknowledge the extraordinary contributions of our official sponsors: Maserati North America, Christie’s International Real Estate, Canon U.S.A., Inc., Bang & Olufsen, JW Marriott Marquis Miami and Hotel Beaux Arts Miami.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Inaugural Miami Project Debuts With Big Buzz And Strong Sales
New Fair Deemed Resounding Success By Collectors, Curators and Enthusiasts Alike

MIAMI, FL and NEW YORK, NY (December 14, 2012) – Miami Project’s debut was a great success with robust sales and a steady crowd of 15,000-plus over the course of the six-day event. Sixty-five galleries from across the US and Germany presented an international group of artists’ contemporary and modern works in all media.

In a market where there are so many Fairs and exhibitions, the organizers were intent to ensure that Miami Project stood out. According to Managing Partner Max Fishko, “There was a significant difference at Miami Project — it was palpable. When you walked through the Fair, you didn’t feel like you’re coming into some crammed, noisy cattle market.”

Managing Partner Jeffrey Wainhause explained, “The emphasis of our shows is to present our exhibitors in the best possible light. The bright and open space with easy-to-navigate layout, spacious aisles and various lounges both inside the fair and in the garden, enhanced the visitor experience.”

Marty Margulies, one of Miami’s most prominent collectors, confirmed that artMRKT’s efforts paid off, saying, “I was extremely impressed by the wide aisles, comfortable atmosphere and boutique nature of the fair and was delighted to find so many works that will enhance my collection. I am looking forward to returning to Miami Project next year.” Professor/Contemporary Art Advisor Douglas Maxwell concurred, saying, “This is the way all art fairs should look and feel.” In fact, the common sentiment from the wide array of visitors was that Miami project was the best looking and buzziest fair this year after Art Basel Miami Beach.

Other notables browsing the aisles and purchasing at Miami Project included Beth Rudin DeWoody, Jason Rubell, Susan and Michael Hort, Marty Margulies and art advisors Julie Kinzelman, Heidi Lee, Karen Amiel, Jean Efron and Lea Weingarten. Also on hand, many leading museum curators and directors such as Carter Foster, curator of Prints and Drawings at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Bill Arning, director of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Mint Museum Director, Kathleen Jameson and Des Moines Art Center Curator Gilbert Vicario, Don Bacigalupi, director of Crystal Bridges Museum and Miami MOCA Director Bonnie Clearwater.

At Miami Project, there was particularly strong interest in painting, new media and photography. According to Fishko, people were feeling expansive this year – and the sales at Miami Project certainly reflected that optimism. “There may be a little less going on at the low end of the market, but the middle and high end seem to be coming back in a very strong way.”

Some important acquisitions were made included Marty Margulies’ purchase of the entire installation of Nina Katchadourian’s “Lavatory Self Portrait in the Flemish Style” from San Francisco gallerist, Catharine Clark. That installation will be recreated –replete with red walls and crown molding– during next year’s ABMB. Houston collectors Bernadino and Mary Arocha purchased four works from Kachadourian’s “Seat Assignment” series including the new media work, “Acca Dacca.” In addition, two museums are in discussion with the gallery about mounting a major traveling survey of the artists work. Chris Doyle’s new media work –also on view in Clark’s booth– was purchased by the 21c Museum in Louisville, KY. Those pieces, along with his watercolors –also exhibited at Miami Project– will be shown at the inaugural opening of the 21c Hotel’s Bentonville location in 2013.

Morgan Lehman sold Kim McCarty’s “Large Yellow Boy” to a Miami Art Museum board member as well as several works by Amy Parks to a major American financial advisory corporate collection. Forum Gallery has had lots of interest in works by Brian Rutenberg and Cybele Young and reported several sales from influential American realist Robert Cottingham’s new “Scent Bottle” series. The Stanford Art Museum is considering a piece by Brendan Lott from Walter Maciel Gallery and a large-scale mixed media sculpture titled “Stumblebum” by Robb Putnam was a major draw. A large-scale Peter Oppenheim painting at Zevitas Gallery sold for $18,000 and Rena Bransten Gallery garnered museum interest in Ron Nagle and reported the sale of an important Vic Muniz work. DC Moore sold two Whitfield Lovell pieces; works by Ralph Humphrey, Nicholas Krushenick and Tadaki Kuwayama were sold at Gary Snyder. David Shelton sold works by both Alejandro Diaz and Vincent Valdez.

Artist Orly Genger, who will be the featured artist in Madison Square Park in May 2013, had her “Stack” installation at Larissa Goldston’s booth sell to an important collection for $25,000. A rare black-and-white resin painting by Markus Linnenbrink on view in Patricia Sweetow’s booth sold to a private collector for $32,000; she also saw sales success at the Fair with several of Zena Al-Shukri’s works. Coagula Curatorial’s Mat Gleason was delighted with the attention received by his program, saying that performance artist Karen Finley’s commissioned “Sexting” series portraits were a big hit. He added, “The buzz on the Fair is off the chart.”

San Francisco galleries Paule Anglim reported the sale of an important sculpture by Deborah Butterfield, and Cheryl Haines sold a work by internationally renowned Ai Weiwei, among others. Seattle-based gallerist Greg Kucera also did well with many artists, selling Dan Webb’s “Rock” to an important Swiss collection and three sculptural paintings by Margie Livingston. In addition, a Claudia Fitch sculpture was snatched up by a Miami collector, and Gregory Blackstock’s “The World War 2 Polikarpov Russian Fighters” was placed with a Toronto collection.

Many Los Angeles galleries also reported strong sales: Kopeikin Gallery placed Katrin Korfmann’s triptych with a Chicago collector for $30,000; a grid of 15 Alejandro Cartagena’s photographs from his “Car Pooler” series with a Miami-based collector; and Andy Freeberg’s “Sean Kelly” sold to a museum in Kentucky. Angles Gallery had particularly strong sales with Tom LaDuke’s paintings and photographs by Israeli photographer, Ori Gersht. Santa Monica dealer Richard Heller did well with works by Marion Peck, Devin Troy Strother and David Jien.

Other major highlights include Sean “Diddy” Combs’ purchase of two Andrew Schoultz gold flag paintings at Marx & Zavattero Gallery and Usher’s purchase of Andrew Lewicki’s “Louis Vuitton Waffle Maker” from Charlie James Gallery.
