The fair will open on Thursday, February 13th with a VIP Preview benefitting the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) before opening to the public over Presidents Day Weekend - Friday, February 14th through Monday, February 17th, 2020. Since 2012, Art Wynwood has been South Florida’s leading destination for contemporary and modern art. The fair offers collectors the opportunity to acquire curated works from emerging talent in the contemporary market, mid-career artists, and blue-chip contemporary, post-war and modern masters and features an elevated array of murals, pop surrealism, street art and other genres. Additionally, for the second year, the world-renowned Miami Yacht Show will be adjacent to Art Wynwood. The in-water display of new and pre-owned vessels will showcase the most extraordinary and uniquely designed yachts and superyachts from the world’s foremost custom boat builders. Art Wynwood 2019 attracted key collectors, curators, art advisors, designers, and art aficionados from around the world. On the heels of the successful Art Miami and CONTEXT Art Miami fairs, Art Wynwood 2020 is expected to draw prominent attendees to the waterfront destination with a diverse selection of artwork presented by over 50 galleries from more than a dozen countries, including France, Canada, the Netherlands, England, Italy and the United States. Visitors can expect a collection of new exhibitors — Galleria Arte Martinelli will present a group of works by established international artists, including a 1964 water-paint on canvas by Lucio Fontana, an artist known for breaking through the two-dimensionality of the traditional picture plane. In addition, The Bonnier Gallery will present an exceptional collection, including “Section,” a 1985 piece by American artist Robert Ryman, and Cy Twombly’s 1952 piece, “Still Life With Doorknob.” Lelia Mordoch Gallery will present Jose Arellano (b.1977), a Miami-based sculptor who creates interactive visual semblances from museum board and xylene-based acrylic paint. Additional new exhibitors to look forward to include Pontone Gallery, Burgess Modern and Contemporary, Galerie Brésil, HOFA Gallery and Mark Borghi Fine Art among others. Art Wynwood’s highly anticipated 2020 edition is set to debut a mix of new special projects, ranging from modern to contemporary art, alongside the main section. Mark Borghi Fine Art will curate a special installation of works by Chakaia Booker in conjunction with a VIP Reception for ICA Board Members during the VIP Preview. Special project highlights include Pontone Gallery’s presentation of the sculptural work of Pablo Atchugarry in addition to works by Lee Lee Nam. ArtLabbé Gallery will present Amelia Campino, Ca'D'Oro will present David Datuna and Burgess Contemporary will showcase a series of paintings by Marcus Jansen. Additionally, Long-Sharp Gallery returns to Art Wynwood with a special presentation of rare hand drawings by Andy Warhol that has never been exhibited in the United States, a new monumental sculpture by artist Jason Myers and works from Picasso to Pop.

The museum also debuted a new exhibition showcasing its permanent collection and recent acquisitions gifted to the Frost for its 10th anniversary, titled Connectivity: Selections from the Collection of the Frost Art Museum FIU. Both shows were curated by Amy Galpin, the Chief Curator, and are on view through September 30. The museum is located at 10975 S.W. 17 Street, on the campus of Florida International University. "Some say Miami's vibrant art scene can be overshadowed by the art fairs that descend upon our destination every December, and the question looms large: what is the real visual arts landscape like in Miami during the other 51 weeks of the year? As this city experiences a major growth boom, working artists in Miami have a broadening range of opportunities and challenges," said Dr. Jordana Pomeroy, the Director of the Frost Art Museum FIU.

  • Tim Rodgers Appointed As New Director of the Wolfsonian–FIU
    Media Contact: Meg Floryan Head of Marketing + PR [email protected] | 305.535.2622 Tim Rodgers Appointed as New Director of The Wolfsonian–FIU MIAMI BEACH (May 11, 2015) — Tim Rodgers has been named director of The Wolfsonian– FIU. Rodgers comes to FIU from Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA). “We are looking forward to having Dr. Rodgers lead The Wolfsonian–FIU into the next phase of its development. The museum is an incredible resource to our community and the art world,” said FIU Provost and Executive Vice President Kenneth G. Furton. “His track record of creating synergies between art and education made him the ideal candidate.” Rodgers officially takes the reins on July 1. The Wolfsonian–FIU is a museum, library, and research center devoted to art and design, with a collection of about 120,000 objects from the period 1885–1945. The collection includes a variety of media, from furniture and art to rare books and propaganda posters. Museum founder Mitchell “Micky” Wolfson Jr. praised the selection of Rodgers as director. “Tim is fully poised for his new challenge. His appointment enthusiastically approved by The Wolfsonian and FIU will give us all new confidence and undoubtedly new directions in order to maintain the institution as a world leader in transmitting the importance of design from one generation to the next, which is the highest responsibility of an educational research institution,” Wolfson said. As director of The Wolfsonian–FIU, Rodgers hopes to expand the physical museum, as well as begin the process of making most of the museum’s permanent collection available online.

    Media Contact: Meg Floryan Head of Marketing + PR [email protected] | 305.535.2622 The Wolfsonian–FIU Appoints Yucef Merhi as Inaugural Curator of Digital Collections, Role Funded by Knight Foundation Merhi, a new media pioneer and interactive designer, sets sights on enhancing digital engagement and digitizing the museum’s collection of 180,000 objects MIAMI BEACH (October 8, 2018) — Yucef Merhi has joined The Wolfsonian–Florida International University as the museum’s first-ever curator of digital collections, a new role made possible by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Having started the position in late July 2018, Merhi rounds out The Wolfsonian’s curatorial team with his extensive experience integrating ambitious online and technology-based tools in the galleries and beyond— skills that are integral to the long-term Wolfsonian goal of forging new avenues for visitors to connect with special exhibitions and the permanent collection. The tech-focused position is one of eight across the country funded by Knight Foundation to help art institutions implement digital strategies that improve the visitor experience and expand audiences. “A large part of a museum’s success in the digital era depends on its ability to leverage technology to take risks and engage audiences. The Wolfsonian has always presented its permanent collection and special exhibitions in thought-provoking ways. For The Wolf, integrating digital technology into the design of future exhibitions is another example of its innovative approach.” said Victoria Rogers, Knight Foundation vice president for the arts. For the last six years, Knight Foundation has supported The Wolfsonian’s efforts to digitize its collection, primarily for purposes of academic research.

MIAMI (March 19, 2020) — As FIU’s three museums join museums around the world in temporarily closing their doors in response to the coronavirus pandemic, they continue to offer inspiring, compelling and educational content to the community via virtual tours, digital content and social media outreach. At Frost Art FIU, curatorial, educational and content teams are working together virtually to bring their members, supporters and art fans, entertainment, refuge and education. The museum has highlighted the following virtual tours: • Deconstruction: A Reordering of Life, Politics, and Art presents the work of twelve Miami-based artists who interrogate varying notions of deconstruction in their work. • Spheres of Meaning: An Exhibition of Artists' Books presents a range of artists' books from manipulated texts to new narrative forms and books presented as sculptures. • Cut: Abstraction in the United States, from the 1970s to the Present explores a multigenerational group of artists who challenged painting surfaces with cuts, carvings, and indentation. For some this gesture has been politically motivated; for others, it represents a bold and dynamic investigation into materiality. Alongside virtual tours, the museum will offer new weekly newsletters and social media content, which will include a behind-the-scenes look at museum staff, games and activities for families to do at home, and video montages of current exhibitions.

  • Debra and Dennis Scholl to Gift One of the Largest Private Aboriginal Australian Contemporary Art Collections in U.S
    MEDIA CONTACT: Amanda Horn, Director of Communications, Nevada Museum of Art (o) 775.398.7228 / (m) 775.636.2567 / [email protected] DEBRA AND DENNIS SCHOLL TO GIFT ONE OF THE LARGEST PRIVATE ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN CONTEMPORARY ART COLLECTIONS IN U.S. TO THREE MUSEUMS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA Prominent Miami-based art collectors give 200 contemporary Aboriginal Australian artworks to The Frost Art Museum FIU, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Nevada Museum of Art. MIAMI, FL. – (October 18, 2017) For more than a dozen years, prominent Miami-based art collectors Debra and Dennis Scholl have focused their collecting attention on Aboriginal Australian contemporary works. This passion has enabled the couple to bolster the West’s appetite for the extraordinary works by commissioning and then touring thematic shows to museums across the country. Now, they pledge to build a permanent bridge to narrow the cultural divide by gifting 200 pieces from their collection to three museums with which they are closely aligned: The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum FIU in Miami; The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; and the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno. The Scholl gift includes works by the most prominent Australian Aboriginal contemporary painters today, including Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjari, Paddy Bedford, Gulumbu Yunipingu, and Nongirrnga Marawili. These trailblazing artists were inspired by their ancient cultural traditions to forge one of the most dynamic painting movements of recent times. Firmly rooted in Aboriginal life, their works resonate profoundly with the abstract painting of the 20th and 21st centuries. The Frost Art Museum FIU and Nevada Museum of Art will each receive approximately 90 works.
