ZONAMACO….Mexico’s Premier Latin American Art Fair

II arranged my travels to be in Mexico City during its Art Week scheduled February 7-11th, 2024. Here is why…. ZONAMACO is the largest art fair platform in Latin America, which stands for “México Arte Contemporáneo Organizacion.” Unlike other art fairs I’ve attended, Mexico’s premier Latin American Art Fair is a combination of four sections: art, design, photography and antiques, all under one roof.

Art Basel has changed Miami from being a vacation spot to also becoming an art destination. Art is now one of the driving forces in the city’s redevelopment efforts, which unfortunately have also caused the gentrification of neighborhoods….

A Review: Whitney Museum Exhibition on Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria …..”no existe un mundo poshuracán”

This exhibition by Puerto Rican artists and curators at the Whitney Museum is a first step in helping to understand the complexity of Puerto Rico/US colonial status disguised as a commonwealth. The exhibition merges the long-term damage of US policies on the island’s sovereignty and its economy with the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria followed by more disastrous policies and the recent earthquakes hence the phrase “no existe un mundo poshuracán.

2022 Art Basel Miami … Celebrating its 20th Anniversary in Grand Style

After two years of uncertainty caused by the pandemic this year Art Basel was in full force not holding anything back as the art world descended on the city of Miami for a week of art, fashion, music, and partying. Thousands of art collectors, dealers, artists, curators, celebrities and party animals will experience what is most likely the biggest international art fair in all of North America. Every December this art fair, which is now an entire week, gets bigger and better as it is no longer just concentrated at the Miami Beach Convention Center. This year, Miami Art week had over 80+ venues throughout the city of Miami with its fair share of controversy starting with over two billion in art sales even as we are approaching a recession….
