Street artists Al Diaz, Danny Minnick and Edwin Baker created a special mural on the Art Wynwood tent today to address the recent school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Al Diaz is a New York based artist and along with Jean-Michel Basquiat was the creator of SAMO, and he flew to Miami to create the piece and pay his respects to the tragedy that occurred on Wednesday February 14th, 2018.

The mural reads: SAMO 4 THE ANGRY CHILD FEELING ALL ALONE SECRETLY FORGING A HEART “COLD AS STONE” COMTEMPLATES VENGEANCE, STARES AT HIS PHONE LEAVES US 2 CLEAN UP, THE FLESH, BLOOD & BONE.

In addition, in response to the tragedy, Art Miami LLC will donate half of all box office proceeds generated during Art Wynwood to victims and their families of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy.

Nick Korniloff, Founder, Art Wynwood, comments, “Due to the unimaginable tragedy that unfolded on Wednesday February 14 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, half of the box office proceeds made during this weekend’s Art Wynwood fair will be donated to support the victims and their families. Myself and the fair’s ownership team are approaching and encouraging all of our 70 galleries and vendors to make additional donations. Resorts World Miami LLC, the property owner of One Herald Plaza where this year’s fair is taking place, has already committed to a generous donation, as has Eventstar Structures, Spuntino Catering, Platform International LLC, and Accurate Event Group, and we feel confident that many more of our colleagues and friends in the compassionate international art world will join us. We encourage everyone to donate to the official GoFundMe site for the Marjory Stoneman High School https://www.gofundme.com/stonemandouglasvictimsfund. Art Wynwood will make its donation following the fairs closing on Monday February 19th, 2018.”

ART WYNWOOD TO OPEN ITS FIFTH EDITION WITH OVER 70 INTERNATIONAL GALLERIES, CURATED EXHIBITIONS OF STREET ART, SEMINAL '60s ART AND INSTALLATIONS FROM LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

Art Wynwood, the premier art fair of the winter season produced by Art Miami LLC, will showcase a dynamic array of work from the underground street art movement, emerging young talent, and world-renowned contemporary and modern artists. Its fifth edition will take place Presidents Day Weekend, opening with the highly acclaimed VIP Preview on Thursday, Feb. 11, and will open to the public onFriday, Feb. 12, and continue through Monday, Feb. 15. The major contemporary art fair will feature 72 international galleries showcasing diverse artworks from artists around the globe, including countries such as France, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Liechtenstein, South Korea, and of course, from throughout the U.S.

Art Wynwood offers serious collectors as well as seasoned and beginning art enthusiasts the best opportunity to discover and acquire some of the most important art works of the era. Last year, the prestigious art fair attracted more than 35,000 collectors, curators and art enthusiasts during its five-day run, with more than 7,500 collectors attending the opening night VIP Preview. Coming off the recent success of Art Miami, which takes place annually in December, Art Wynwood is expected to draw even more notable attendees this year and is forecasted to boast additional high-value acquisitions.

Some noteworthy highlights of this year's fair include the following:

Art Wynwood will showcase important works like Jennifer Dalton's installation from Winkleman Gallery; Andy Warhol's Flowers from ARCHEUS/POST-MODERN; Andrew Myers' My Dealer is Not a Square from Lawrence Cantor Fine Art; Julian Lennon'sphotograph Horizons from Emmanuel Fremin; Cheryl Pope's tops from Spinello Projects; and the 1960s-inspired booth from Long-Sharp Gallery.

Art Wynwood will open in the first quarter of a presidential election year this Presidents Day Weekend, and to commemorate the moment, the main entry doors of the fair will be flanked at both sides with large replica printed murals of Bernie Taupin's Sleeping Beauty,while the original work will be exhibited inside the fair at the Waterhouse & Dodd booth. Sleeping Beauty is an example of how Taupin has used the American flag as a recurring theme, utilizing this image to showcase its resilience and history of rebounding from abject adversity. The British-bornvisual artist/lyricist, now an American citizen, Taupin is inspired by the flag as a medium and features it heavily in his work.

Kevin O'Leary, "Woman on Chains", 2013

Martha Cooper, "Nunca"

Art Wynwood will mark the debut of Kevin O'Leary's contemporary photography exhibition. TitledIrreconcilable Images, the exhibit willfeature original works by O'Leary, a business mogul and investor on "Shark Tank." He describes the photographs as "irreconcilable" because "Viewing the work alerts your sense of foreboding, and you are suspicious of what you are seeing. The eye keeps trying to reconcile the imputed accuracies." The work displayed will span multiple decades and geographies and will include titles such as Self Portrait (1975), Inflating Zeppelin (2008) and Woman on Chains (2013). All profits from the sales of the photographs will benefit aspiring teenage entrepreneurs and the Perry J. Cohen Foundation (PJCF). The goal of PJCF, established by Pamela Cohen and Nick Korniloff, is to create awareness and education around the safe enjoyment of recreational boating, fishing and water sports. The foundation also will provide scholarships for deserving students, as well as financial assistance to future search-and-rescue efforts for others lost at sea.

Martha Cooper, an iconic photographer noted for capturing the street art movement, will exhibit her work depicting Wynwood Walls and the Wynwood Arts District at this year's Art Wynwood. Cooper's work has been influential for urban vernacular art and architecture for over 40 years. Her dedication to documenting graffiti as an art form has propelled her to international acclaim, and because of her efforts, Cooper has been chosen as the recipient of the Art Wynwood Tony Goldman Lifetime Achievement Award.

Kerry McLaney, Founder/Creative Director of Miami's Independent Thinkers and 305 Creative Group, is known for documenting Wynwood's evolution of street art throughout the years. When she first moved to the Edgewater/Wynwood area from Haiti, McLaney was captivated by how the colors, styles, shapes and textures of street art looked from behind the lens. In 2011, she met Martha Cooper, who quickly became an important guide into the street art world. This year, McLaney will have a boothadjacent to the Martha Cooper exhibit at Art Wynwood.

ART WYNWOOD ACHIEVES RECORD SUCCESS AND ATTENDANCE
IN ITS FOURTH YEAR

Major Collectors from New York, Miami and Abroad Make Important Acquisitions

Miami (February 19, 2015) - Art Wynwood, the annual Presidents Day Weekend art fair, presented over 60 galleries, from 9 countries representing over 25 cities, featured a wide breadth of quality works from both established and mid-career cutting edge artists. The Fourth Edition reported record attendance, attracting over 35,000 enthusiasts and some of the world's most prominent collectors; as well as a strong show of patrons from the international clientele in town for the Yacht & Brokerage Show. Art Wynwood has secured its position as the most important contemporary art fair in the southeast during the winter months by offering the most discerning international collectors, art enthusiasts and seasoned cultural travelers the best opportunity to discover, explore and collect some of the most significant art works of our time.

"The City of Miami and The Wynwood Arts District continues to deliver for our participating dealers while quenching the thirst of an active international art collecting community who are visiting or residing in South Florida each winter," said Nick Korniloff, Executive VP of Art Miami LLC. "This past weekend proved that Miami continues to develop as a serious cultural destination outside the month of December".

"For the fourth edition of Art Wynwood, the enthusiasm, focus and momentum of our local, regional and international galleries has made the fair an exceptional success," said Grela Orihuela, Art Wynwood Fair Director. "Our clear determination was to continue to grow and shape this fair into an event embodying the tremendous art character and talent of its Miami roots."

Christie's International Real Estate hosted an interactive booth at the entrance of Art Wynwood, exhibiting international luxury residential real estate offerings, and a new addition to the fair was a special exhibition titled SOLO Miami where a selection of local galleries, including Emerson Dorsch, GUCCIVUITTON, Primary, Fredric Snitzer Gallery and Spinello Projects, exhibited side-by-side to present solo exhibitions premiering exciting new work by consequential local artists.
