ArtPalmBeach is considered one of the most influential contemporary art fairs on Florida’s Gold Coast by both critics and art enthusiasts. Over 80 international galleries will be exhibiting contemporary and emerging artists.

Highlights Include:

ART SYNERGY
The inauguration of “Art Synergy,” the first countywide gallery walk weekend taking place in six historic art districts coinciding with ArtPalmBeach. Supported by the PB Cultural Council, Mayor's Offices, Downtown Development Authority and Community Redevelopment Agencies, Art Synergy will include gallery receptions, open artist studios, performances, museum openings, lectures and special architectural tours.

Sculpture, Objects and Public Art

In collaboration with the International Sculpture Center in Washington DC and Sculpture magazine, the fair will feature sculptural works by major artists in every medium including new innovative medias: light, video, carbon, glass, porcelain, metal, sound and the world's first Nano Art Lab exhibition by French artist Michel Paysant.

Sculptor Albert Paley will receive the ArtPalmBeach Visionary Lifetime Achievement Award for his innovative use of forging metals in monumental sculptures. The Award’s Reception will include a special viewing of the premiere episode of season five of Craft in America, entitled “Forge” a PBS series featuring Paley's 15 monumental sculptures at New York City's "On Park Avenue" exhibition.

GOING GLOBAL
“Going Global” special exhibitions will include: "The Awakening of the Middle East," a selection of established artists from the Middle East from Egypt to Iran via the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and Turkey. This special exhibition will explore these artists’ responses to the Arab Spring with a vision of the future of the region and questioning the cultural prejudices of the West.

Soo Jung Hyun's curated show and exhibition “Searching for a Cow in the Forest” will preview in ArtPalmBeach’s Korean Pavilion and presents works by three artists including Lee Yong Baek, Lim Dong-Lak, Sung Hee Cho. "Searching for a Cow in the Forest" raises the question, "What is the distinguished and strengthened quality of Korean art in the global expansion?" The Korean art world has developed significantly and the art market has reached auctions, museums, galleries, art fairs and international museum exhibitions.

Lastly, Going Global will include a continuing exhibition of art from the Americas. This year exhibitions from Merconsur, southern cone of South America “Latin American Masters and Emerging Artists,” will feature ten leading galleries from Chile and Argentina. Influenced by their European cultural heritage from modernism, geometric abstraction and surrealism these works represent the new contemporary fusion of today’s trends in contemporary art from these Latin American capitals

LECTURE SERIES

This year’s Lecture Series will include:
ArtPalmBeach presents Baby Jane in conjunction with the Norton Museum exhibition "To Jane, Love Andy" Andy Warhol's First Superstar. Jane Holzer, a Palm Beach native will be interviewed by art historian and artist Bruce Helander about Andy Warhol's favorite muse and model.
