THAT’S A WRAP: HIGHLIGHTS OF RED DOT MIAMI 2022
Art lovers and collectors were excited to attend the 17th edition of Red Dot Miami, a curated contemporary art fair held annually during Miami Art Week. This year’s five-day fair ran from Opening Night on November 30 through Sunday, December 4, with exhibitors from 22 countries showcasing works from hundreds of artists across the globe.
Fair Highlights
- They checked out The African Spirit, by artist and designer Andre Croteau, a pop art-inspired metaphor for the cultural colonization of Africa in K-Art Projects USA‘s Booth 200. Drawn in by the piece’s unique texture and overall sculptural rhythm, the work symbolizes the ebb and flow of the overall global cultural process.
- The Good Dog / Bad Dog Collection by Jackie Fuchs at Art Love Gallery, Booth 208, had people stopping and chuckling for a second and third look. And they had all found new homes by the end of the fair.
- Once again Kris and Angela Gebhardt showcased their newest works in the Gebhardt Gallery Booth 401 with Awaken the Soul being placed on Opening Night, among other pieces sold.
- Strolling the aisles and finding that perfect piece of art was made all the better while sipping a glass of Pommery Champagne!
