One of the major US art events is taking place this week – Art Basel Miami. The eight-year-old opened today, bigger than ever, and accessorized by a robust bunch of rival fairs (including Red Dot Miami), fashion parties, book signings, benefits, and, yes, Sly Stallone is showing his fine art paintings. Too much.
Over at the Red Dot Fair, artists from the Washington Glass School are showing at the Mayer Fine Art Gallery.
Tim Tate reports from the fair that sales on the VIP preview and first day is encouraging for artists – Tim has sold a major mixed media work – his blown and cast glass / video work “A Question of Evolution”
Fingers crossed the week finishes as strong as it started! (And that they bring back some of the sales mojo!)
