Ta Ta Cramped Miami Art Fairs, Dealers Seek Another Way

Picture 1

A group of seven art dealers are shunning the usual December in Miami art fair circuit to organize an aptly named joint show called Seven, located a 24,000 square-foot space in the Wynwood Art District.

Three of the dealers — Brooklyn-based Pierogi, London’s Hales Gallery and New York’s Ronald Feldman — have mounted selling shows during Art Basel week in raw Miami venues since 2006.

This year they expand their reach with the addition of BravinLee programs, Postmasters, PPOW and Winkleman. Each exhibitor will present a solo artist installation, as well as exhibit work in collaborative project spaces.

One can’t help but think that the recent Independent fair — a megahit launched during Armory Show week offering an array of dealers displaying large-scale installations — helped persuade some of the exhibitors to take part.

Seven takes place at 2214 North Miami Avenue from Nov. 30 to Dec. 5 with an opening reception on Nov. 30 from 6-9 pm.
