Halfway there...
Traffic to Context Art Miami has been really good - it is clear that the management listened to last year's signage issues, and now visitors know how to get to and from Art Miami to Context Art Miami.
A BZ to the Art Miami management for that.
After almost a decade and a half of doing art fairs, my experience has been that most art fair managers think they know what's "best" and seldom listen to the feedback from the galleries, which they so furiously seek! Good examples of that has been the prodigious down spiral of Scope, Pulse and others... and the same prodigious recovery of those same fairs - once they started listening to the constructive criticism and feedback.
How are sales?
I have no idea how other galleries are doing, but in the seven years that I have been doing this art fair, and the dozen+ years that we've been coming down to Miami for Art Basel week (#artbaselmiami), the triad of Friday, Saturday and Sunday is when the majority of the sales of art take place.
So far, we have sold a few works - including a cool Batman video piece from my "Naked Superheroes" series.
And lots of fair goers are still loving life as part of my interactive video piece Your Portrait in a Gallery of Portraits.
Anyway... today I sold a 2009 drawing, a recent Frida drawing and the Batman video piece... so feeling cool and OK.
Also yesterday I got a GIANT commission to do an interactive video piece for a new building in McLean (thanks Paula).
Erwin Timmers (co-founder of the Washington Glass School) also got a commission to "re-do" this piece, but with red glass instead of clear glass... cough, cough...
