The select galleries and artists included: Primary Projects, showing Autumn Casey, Emerson Dorsch with Brookhart Jonquil, GucciVuitton with Peter Goodrich, Fredric Snitzer Gallery showing Mauricio Gonzalez, and Spinello Projects presenting Farley Aguilar. Together the prominent galleries displayed the cities great home base of art and its reach on the national and international circuit.

Autumn Casey's sculpture

Downtown Miami gallery Primary Project’s booth caught the eyes of many fairgoers with its exciting and daring pieces by Autum Casey. The artist also exhibited a solo show in the gallery this past fall titled Agalma. Autumn, who is also the lead singer of a band has become a strong force in the Miami art scene with her sculptural work and has seem to become Primary’s go to girl. Her booth included works following with her themes of childhood, memory, strength, and fragility. Altogether a great collection.

Wynwood gallery Emerson Dorsch gallery displayed the works of Brookhart Jonquil, an artist who has previously had three solo exhibitions with the gallery. Brookhart displayed some of his signature reflective mirror pieces for his booth. Each mirrored sculpture created an interesting illusion of space and depth.

Anthony Spinello’s Spinello Projects brought together another exciting exhibit, presenting the works of acclaimed Nicaraguan artist Farley Aguilar. As usual with Spinello he put together an elegant booth showcasing the artists signature portraits of colorful men, women and children. Farley’s unique works caught the eyes of many collectors and quickly sold out the entire booth.
