Untitled Art Fair celebrated its tenth anniversary Monday and proclaimed Miami’s grand Art Week return with a VIP crowd snaking alongside its oceanside tent and swift sales to rival pre-pandemic levels. Known for featuring exciting mid-career and emerging artists around the globe, with over 145 galleries and four guest curators—Natasha Becker, Miguel A. López, Estrellita Brodsky and José Falconi—this year’s edition proved not only the largest, but the most diverse and ambitious yet. The doors opened with the palpable frisson of artists, dealers and collectors thrilled to be back in Miami and in conversation with one another. Below are Untitled Art Fair’s six standout presentations that shouldn’t be missed.
This year, Hayworth makes its fair debut, challenging the assumption that galleries require a brick-and-mortar outpost to thrive. As a new dealer who describes its representational model as hybrid and nomadic, the gallery is showcasing three artists—Lans King, Suzy Kellems Dominik and Cassandra Zampini—as well as a special project by Atelier Caracas for Studio Boheme whose works straddle digital technology and classic forms of design and architecture. Kellems Dominik’s I Survived You finds a repurposed shipping crate housing a choreographed neon sculpture, which encourages viewers to ascend a short flight of stairs to experience the artwork—an allegory of childhood trauma, intimacy and renewal.
