With a rich history, Art Miami is the original and longest-running contemporary art fair in Miami. Attracting over 85,000 people annually, Art Miami is one of the top ranked and highest attended international art fairs in the world. This year, returning for its 27th installment during Art Week in Miami, the contemporary and modern art fair will showcase an array of iconic and exemplary works, dynamic projects and special installations from over 130 international exhibitors from more than 20 different countries.
A VIP Private Preview will help kick off the fair, held in the Art Miami Pavilion. It will benefit the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), a museum that promotes artistic expression and the exchange of ideas, advancing public knowledge and appreciation of art, architecture and design, and reflecting the diverse community at its location at the crossroads of the Americas. PAMM recently opened a new building in 2013 designed by renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron in Downtown Miami’s Museum Park.
New and established collectors, curators, museum professionals, members of the press and art world luminaries will all be flocking to Art Miami’s 200,000-square-foot pavilion in the Wynwood Arts District. The finest investment quality paintings, photography, prints, drawings, design, sculpture and video art will all be offered, with works from the 20th and 21st centuries including material Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Willem de Kooning, and Ed Ruscha. Academy Award winning actor and acclaimed artist Adrien Brody, who displayed his exhibition, “Hooked,” at Art New York and Art Southampton earlier this year, will debut his most recent works at Art Miami.
The highly regarded international dealers exhibiting at the fair include Long-Sharp Gallery, Taylor | Graham, Vallarino Fine Art, CONNERSMITH, RGR + Art, Opera Gallery, Mayoral, Renate Bender, and more than a hundred others.

Art Week in Miami is a strong magnet for all things creative, drawing tens of thousands of people to all of the exciting events and exhibitions in the area. Art Miami’s sister fair, CONTEXT, is now only one block north. CONTEXT, launched in 2012, is dedicated to the development and reinforcement of emerging and mid-career artists. The NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale is presenting solo shows of Anselm Kiefer, Francesco Clemente, and Samson Kambalu. One of the world’s most prominent artists, Anselm Kiefer’s show will launch the NSU Art Museum’s new exhibition series focusing on post-World War II artists whose work addresses issues of identity and the convergence of history and mythology. The exhibition, drawn from the Hall and Hall Art Foundation collections, will include major books, works on paper, paintings and sculptures from the late 1960s to the present. It will be on view beginning November 29, 2016 through August 13, 2017.
