Discover how Miami's local artcommunity transformed the city into a hub of global artistic exchange
Step into
the vibrant heartbeat of Miami's art scene during a transformative period in Miami's
Art Boom. Award-winning art critic Elisa Turner presents over 100 of her
best profiles, reviews, and stories to capture the evolution of Miami's visual
arts community before and after the inaugural Art Basel Miami Beach in 2002.
This book reveals how a constellation of visionary artists, curators,
galleries, and museums ignited a cultural revolution that propelled the region
onto the international stage.
Through four chronological sections and a richly contextualizing introduction, readers are invited to witness a pivotal era when creative pioneers like José Bedia, Carlos Betancourt, María Brito, Gary L. Moore, Eugenia Vargas-Pereira, Edouard Duval-Carrié, María Martínez-Cañas, and many others redefined artistic boundaries. Their individual stories are artfully interwoven with the broader
narrative of a community energized by cross-cultural exchange. As Miami
transformed into a flourishing hub of global artistry amid burgeoning support
from state and private funders, the groundwork was laid for Art Basel Miami
Beach, a landmark event whose explosive impact continues to reverberate.
Miami's Art Boom is more than a history--it is a vibrant cultural artifact that not only
defies myths about Miami's artistic roots but also celebrates the spirit of
innovation and diversity. This detailed, lively collection is an essential read
for art students and scholars, professionals, and anyone passionate about the
power of creativity. Embrace the story of Miami's rise from the foundational
work of local visionaries to the exhilarating exchange of the international art
world and experience an inspirational journey.
