"Opening a day before Art Basel's VIP preview, NADA drew a line at 10 a.m. that stretched down the block and then some. Held at downtown Miami's Ice Palace Studios, the fair is slightly smaller this year, likely due to competing fairs in town attempting to lure galleries to Miami Beach, as ARTnews reported earlier this year. Some might see that as a bad thing."
"The event is a much tighter affair, with less of the glut that has marked recent editions. The fair has also done away with the usual tented final exhibition space that never quite had enough breathing room. In a market that has long been on a downturnbut judging by last month's auctions, may have a slight upswingit's no surprise that many dealers opted to fill their booths with painting, a mix of figuration and abstraction."
On a sunny, somewhat humid Tuesday morning the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) opened its annual Miami fair at downtown Miami's Ice Palace Studios with a long line at 10 a.m. The fair is slightly smaller this year, likely because competing fairs attempted to lure galleries to Miami Beach, resulting in a tighter presentation with less of the previous glut. Organizers removed the usual tented final exhibition space to improve breathing room. In a market that has been down but shows auction-based signs of recovery, many dealers emphasized painting—both figuration and abstraction—while notable works in other mediums remain on view. The fair runs through December 6.
