Reflections: Ink Miami

Things have been going well here in Miami. We hung our exhibition on Tuesday and Wednesday and the fair opened on Thursday morning with a breakfast in the courtyard. All the INK Miami participants have done a great job setting up their suites and brought their best work to the fair.

We’ve had good attendance, some sales and many compliments on this location. Generally, all the fairs have seen slower sales and less traffic The past few years the press has focused on what art sold for record prices in the first few minutes of Art Basel Miami Beach. This year the headlines have been about how attendance is down and sales are slow. But Miami is still a vital and vibrant scene with 25 fairs and thousands of people who come to look at art.

INK closes on Sunday at 3:00. We’ll have some time on Monday to relax and walk on the beach before heading home to snow.
