After trekking from fair to fair for Miami Art Week, it's easy for "Fair Fatigue" to sync in. NADA Miami is the perfect cure for that. It takes place in a gorgeous facility far from the bustle and hustle of the other fairs where attendees can stretch out in hammocks on the grounds and sip glasses of white wine while listening to artist talks.
"NADA Art Fair is the most enjoyable art fair of Miami Art Week" - Mary Lynn Buchanan
It's affordable as well, with tickets for $20...so I didn't have to do the usual begging for a spare ticket from a gallery...I just paid for them outright... with all funds going towards the National Art Dealers Association.
Overall I broke down my fair coverage into a few different categories:
Galleries from New York
Galleries outside of New York
Artist with stand-out pieces
Best booths
Galleries from New York
Martos Gallery
I was obsessed with Martos Gallery's (from New York) booth with works by Tyree Guyton (below).
KARMA Gallery
Karma showcased works by Walter Price, Will Boone, and Alex Da Corte. (see below).
Nicelle Beauchene Gallery
Killed it at the fair...selling most works (yes I eavesdropped). Some of the artists showcased were Louise Despont, Jim Lee, and Ruby Sky Stiler.
Rachel Uffner Gallery
Brought some bold works by Molly Zuckerman-Hartung (below).
Non-NYC Galleries
The most fun booth's are those from the gallerys I don't get to see in person, since they're located outside of NYC. Some of my favorites include:
Smart Objects from L.A.
Shane Campbell Gallery from Chicago
Night Gallery From L.A.
