Nightlife scenes and local lore abound at Nada Miami's busy opening
"The gallery is making its debut at Nada Miami with an adventurous presentation by the lens-based artist Jackson Markovic focused on the city's nightclubs. Markovic's bleary, fluorescent images were installed on light boxes, with each apparatus priced at $12,000. Several had sold within the preview's opening hours. The glow of Markovic's images certainly made the booth stand out amid the predominantly canvas-based work at the fair, something Hawkins says he was surprised by given the fair's reputation as a haven for edgier work."
"As much as there is safety in numbers, there also seems to be numbers in safety for the dealers at Nada, many of whom reported brisk sales on Tuesday. The New York-based gallery Shrine had already sold most of the works on its stand, which features two very different styles of painting. Paintings from Angela China's abstract, expressionistic series Wildflower sold out quickly, according to a gallery representative."
An Atlanta gallery director observed a painterly slant at the Nada Miami VIP preview despite expectations of experimental fare. Hawkins Headquarters debuted with Jackson Markovic's light-box photographs of Miami nightclubs, each priced at $12,000, and several sold during the preview. The luminous images contrasted with the fair's predominantly canvas-based booths. Multiple dealers reported brisk sales: Shrine sold most works on its stand and Angela China's Wildflower series sold out. Hyperrealistic paintings by Alex Hutton moved quickly, and Burnaway, in collaboration with Sheet Cake, sold Clare Torina works during an unusually busy opening morning.
