Join us at Art Concept, Downtown Miami's Waterfront Fair
Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 27, 2016 -- Miami’s newest contemporary and cutting edge fair, Art Concept, located on the stunning waterfront at Bayfront Park in the heart of Miami's downtown Arts, Entertainment and Museum district, will be held during Miami’s Art Basel Week November 30-December 4. Art Concept boasts 40 participating galleries, waterfront dining, and innovative emerging art. Conveniently adapted to Miami time 1- 10 pm daily, with Art After Dark at Art Concept held 7-10pm, where visitors can enjoy Latin-infused Asian cuisine, cocktails, music, and evening artist receptions, film viewings and art performances.
Art Concept is presenting rare modern masters and contemporary works ranging from early 20th century masters to works by emerging artists from an international selection of exhibiting galleries. Renowned Dada masters including integral founding members of the movement such as Hans Richter, whose work will be represented at the fair by a series of rare paintings, to premier Post-Modern works will be on exhibition from galleries around the world. Cutting edge visual art and works incorporating new age technology, such as video Hyper –Reality by Columbian artist Keiichi Matsuda will showcase the new contemporary art movement of today and explores our over-saturated reality and reliance on technological projects.
The premiere East Coast exhibition of the recently discovered works by renowned painter Gil Cuatrecasas will be on at the Rediscovered Masters of CT and NY. Agerled Arts, and Hans Alf Gallery, Copenhagen will exhibit a collection of celebrated Dadaist photographer Man Ray. The works are stunning examples of Man Ray's innovative Avant-Garde techniques with light and photography that led him to become one of the significant contributors to the Dada and Surrealist movements, and a transformative figure in the art world.
A daily lecture series includes “Everything You Want to Know About the Art Market and the Golden Rules in Collecting”, by Sebastien Laboureau, Art Advisor, Curator, Collector and "Is the Price Right? An Insider’s View on Valuing Fine Art”, the first time at any art fair where an insight into the process of valuing and pricing fine art is being given. Lead by art historian, publisher, and appraiser, Peter Hastings Falk, it provides a transparency and clear logic to all collectors that is easy to understand and finally illuminates what has long been an opaque subject for most people.
Dr. Milagros Bello, art historian and sociologist of art, graduate from Sorbonne University, curator and art writer, will present the lecture on “Modern/Postmodern Perspective”, describing opposing perspectives of the early 20th-century art and the art of the post-war epoch. “Richard Meier, the Artist” will be presented by Gary Lichtenstein, on Master Graphic Printer Richard Meier who has collaborated on new art projects with the architect since 2011.
Art Concept will reactivate Bayfront Park as Miami’s outdoor center of the arts, reflecting the location of the fair itself. “Reimagining Miami Public Spaces - Homage to Isamu Noguchi”, part of the Art Concept Fair program, is a special outdoor project in Bayfront Park, highlighting the significance of art in public places to enhance urban communities and create new audiences sponsored by Bayfront Trust, Miami Dade Art in Public Places, City of Miami Public Art Initiative and Miami Dept. of Cultural Affairs. Gallery exhibits will include contemporary sculpture in outdoor sculpture gardens in the lush park and waterfront landscapes.
Art Concept’s central location close to ample parking and public transportation and the proximity to Miami’s leading restaurants, luxury shopping, museums and five-star hotels makes it the perfect spot to enjoy Miami Fair Week.
