Art Miami 2011 Showcases Titian to Contemporary Works with 50,000 Visitors
From November 30 to December 4, 2011, Art Miami attracted approximately 50,000 visitors to its Wynwood Pavilion in Miami, Florida. Over 110 galleries from 18 countries participated, including 22 first-time exhibitors. A highlight was Titian's 1530 painting St. Sebastian at Edelman Arts, featured alongside works by Red Grooms and Carlos Betancourt. Notable sales included Gerhard Richter's Abstraktes Bild (2001) for $1.6 million at Michael Schultz Gallery. The fair presented diverse artistic movements, from Color Field painting with Jules Olitski and Kenneth Noland at Antoine Helwaser Gallery to Pop art with Andy Warhol's Marilyns at Arcature Fine Art. Los Angeles artists like De Wain Valentine were showcased, reflecting the Getty Museum's Pacific Standard Time initiative. Fiber-optic tapestries emerged as a new medium, exemplified by Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese's internet-connected work at Catherine Clark Gallery. Video art included Ai Weiwei's 10-hour Chang'an Boulevard in the Persol Art Video Lounge. Regional artists gained exposure, such as Constance deJong at Richard Levy Gallery. The event demonstrated strong interest in Latin American art, with works by Jesus de Soto and Victor Lugo.
