Exhibitors Prepare For Strong Art Week After Successful First Day

December 1, 2011 (MIAMI, FL)  – Art Miami (www.art-miami.com), the city’s longest running contemporary art fair and anchor fair to the City of Miami, opened to the public for the first full day yesterday, with galleries continuing to report strong sales and promising leads from serious art collectors and museums. Distinguished for its depth,diversity and quality, Art Miami presents an incredible showcase of works from internationally renowned modern and contemporary art from more than 110 international art galleries.

“Attendance on the first day of Art Miami was very strong, and galleries reported solid sales after a banner Opening Night VIP Preview,” said Nick Korniloff, Director of Art Miami. “In light of the competing opening day for Art Basel, we saw acontinuous flow of qualified attendees—numerous galleries reported sales from loyal returning clients and new clients alike. These are all great indicators for a strong week ahead,” stated Korniloff."

James Barron, owner of James Barron Art stated, “We had a great Opening Night of the Fair. We sold several important works within the first 5 minutes to major American collectors. On our first full day (Wednesday), we had reserves for several paintings with museum trustees and collector committees. With the stock market being shaky, people are investing their funds in superb quality works at the right prices, and that is what we are exhibiting.”

Several galleries reported speaking with collectors, curators and artists from Miami, Palm Beach, Aspen and abroad, including Wilbur and Hillary Ross, Kathryn Mikesell, Newell Harbin, Belkis Nasser, Farrah Nasser, Christopher Coleman, Michael Dweck, and many more.

Running from November 29 – December 4 in a state-of-the-art 125,000 square foot pavilion in Midtown Miami’s burgeoning Wynwood Arts District.  Now in its 22nd year, Art Miami includes modern and contemporary paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography and prints from Europe, Asia, Latin America, India, the Middle East and the United States. Situated in a newly designed pavilion, one third larger than last year, Art Miami has grown to include more than 110 galleries 18 countries, and will showcase 1,000 artists from 60 countries around the world. From the United States, 400 artists will be shown from nearly 100 cities. For a complete list of exhibitors, visit www.art-miami.com.

La Luz de Jesus Heart Logo

Technicolor Skull
performs their first West Coast appearance at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles on November 19, 2011, as part of the opening reception for Kenneth Anger: ICONS. This exhibition will showcase the films, books, and artwork of one of the most original and enigmatic filmmakers of post-war American cinema. This coincides with the release of Technicolor Skull's self-titled recorded debut, a one-sided, bloodred 180 gram 12" vinyl LP limited to 666 copies.

Technicolor Skull LP cover
Technicolor Skull
is an experiment in light and sound, exploring the psychic impact of a magick ritual in the context of an improvised performance. With Brian Butler on guitar and electronic instruments, and Kenneth Anger on theremin, their collaboration is a performance contained inside a ritual of unknown origin, tapping into occult stories that extend musical language into initiation. Hidden messages escape through gesture and light, manifesting as a one-time-only event. 

The record will be available directly
