Miami Art Week 2017 Highlights: Rondinone and Quarles Dominate Conversations

Miami Art Week 2017 concluded with significant artistic energy and notable exhibitions. Ugo Rondinone captured widespread attention through two major presentations: a psychologically resonant exhibition at the Bass Museum and a dedicated booth by Galerie Eva Presenhuber at Art Basel Miami Beach. Emerging painter Christina Quarles experienced a rapid rise to prominence following her inclusion in the New Museum's "Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon" exhibition in late September. Steven Zevitas, Publisher of New American Paintings, participated in the UNTITLED art fair, which he noted has become essential viewing for serious collectors. The week offered numerous opportunities to view strong artwork across fairs, museums, and private collections, generating considerable positive momentum in Miami's art scene.
