SOURCE ART FOCUS - Miami Art Week

This month we explore the thrills and intricacies of the host of Art Fairs taking Miami Beach by storm.


Art Basel Miami Beach

December 4th - December 8th

With 283 premier galleries and 320 booths, Art Basel Miami Beach is the largest show in Miami Beach to date. Originating in Bazel, Switzerland and extended to Miami Beach, Hong Kong and Paris, Art Basel is a group of international, annual art fairs focused on contemporary art. The fair presents an exceptional overview of artists, galleries and new perspectives from around the world. Every booth, another vigorous dive into what is happening in the art world. Truly a fabulous way to immerse oneself in art.

We love walking prospective clients through the fair as always and, in our exploration of the show, spending time with galleries we know and love as well as discovering many new ones. It’s important when navigating a fair as big as this one, to slow down as something catches your eye, take time to connect with the work and forge a more meaningful experience. We often engage with gallerists for in depth descriptions of the process and materiality of the works in their program. We always enjoy exploring fairs with our clients in mind, emerging with a range of intriguing new work we know they would be drawn to.

Untitled will present a curated selection of international contemporary art works and is a leading independent contemporary art fair with an inclusive platform that prioritizes collaboration. Returning to the sands of South Beach for its 13th edition, the fair features over 160 participating galleries, artist-run spaces, and non-profits from 38 countries.

Beyond seeing unforgettable work, the connections with galleries we forge at the fairs are deeply important to us. Some have been long standing partners in our artistic journey, while others represent new relationships in the making, anticipating procurements that will take us through the new year.

ART FOCUS - In the glass artist's studio

We recently had the pleasure of procuring two stunning works by glass artist Dan Alexander. Their vibrant colors and intricate patterns will enhance the architecture of two facing niches in our client’s beautiful Mediterranean home. It’s our pleasure to introduce the artist and touch upon the process and boundless possibilities of glass blowing and this intriguing medium. Dan attended Kent State University and received a BFA with a Glass Concentration. Post graduation, he studied with some of the top glass artists in the field today. He worked in Murano, Italy, and spent several years working for the Corning Museum of Glass where he held the Lead Gaffer position.      Dan Alexander's Kaleido Tower and Kaleido Drop on the left, mockup of the two works in the niches on the right Instead of looking at the whole image of the world around him, Dan Alexander tries to crop out one element he finds visually interesting and looks at it through a micro lens. He sees how that small ...
