THE 1ST ANNUAL ART PALM BEACH SHOW

THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY AND MODERN ART FAIR OF THE AMERICAS

Art Palm Beach makes its debut this year at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, the premier destination for conventions, trade shows, meetings and social events. With its state-of-the-art design, and cutting edge technology and services, it is the perfect venue for our inaugural show.

Palm Beach, founded by Henry Flagler, has been the winter home of America’s elite industrialists and Wall Street icons since the early 20th century. Over 24% of the world’s wealthiest families reside in South Florida from January through April. In addition to offering galleries access to America’s wealthiest towns during the winter, Palm Beach is the crown jewel of cultural life in Florida. Now home to many of New York’s leading top blue-chip galleries and international auction houses, Palm Beach has become Florida’s collector “must-see” gallery district during the winter season.

With over 100,000 square feet of exhibition space dedicated to some of the most prestigious contemporary, emerging and modern art galleries from the U.S. and around the world, Art Palm Beach will provide an exceptional platform for gallery representation, and a much anticipated art event, in The Palm Beaches.

Dear Guests,

On behalf of the City of West Palm Beach, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Art Palm Beach, the international contemporary and modern art fair of the Americas.

Art Palm Beach is internationally renown as the premiere mid-winter contemporary art fair in The Palm Beaches along Florida’s coastline by both art critics and enthusiasts. The fair taps into the booming market of Palm Beach, one of the world’s most culturally sophisticated and affluent cities, during the peak winter season.

Featuring some of the most prestigious contemporary, emerging, and modern art galleries, the show will provide a new entrée for collectors to explore and acquire the best of a broad selection of global contemporary and modern art in the vibrant cultural hub of South Florida. Geared to benefit from the current real estate boom, proximity to Miami and wealth of the Tri-County Area, Art Palm Beach 2023 will focus on presenting international modern and contemporary galleries featuring work by notable emerging artists as well as top names from the contemporary, modern, classical modern, post-war, and pop eras.

In addition to enjoying the amazing collection of art, I invite you to explore the many other treasures our City has to offer, including our spectacular downtown waterfront, our shopping districts, cultural amenities and historic neighbourhoods. Visitors to this show will find that West Palm Beach is well known for its natural beauty, its rich diversity and cultural heritage, and its art.

Last but not least, be sure to visit our website at www.wpb.org to find out more about our City and our free events.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our inaugural Art Palm Beach Show. As you may know, Art Palm Beach has been an important part of Palm Beach for nearly 25 years and the first and most important event of the Season, and we are honored that we are now in the position to steward this incredible show into the future.

As organizers, each year now and into the future we will strive to exceed the prior year’s offering of wonderful Modern and Contemporary Art offerings. We travel the globe to the finest art shows worldwide, in addition to frequenting the most important shows in our nation. As a result, it is our pleasure to present an international array of unique and highly esteemed exhibitors in each category of art, brought together in one spectacular event.

A show of this enormous breadth and depth presents challenges from inception through presentation and requires the coordinated efforts of a vast number of people. We would like to express our gratitude by congratulating everyone involved in making Art Palm Beach a success.

It is a true team effort that requires seamless production from our hard working office team to our technical and creative personnel, in order to bring this event to life.

Of equal importance, we would like to give a special thanks to the exhibitors who travel here so that we may enjoy spectacular works of art, rare antiques and timeless treasures. To each participant, we offer our appreciation and gratitude.

To our visitors and collectors, we extend our warmest welcome and invite you to take advantage of this cultural experience and the opportunity to meet many of the world’s most renowned and respected dealers showing the most interesting and collectible Modern and Contemporary Art available today.

We are pleased to welcome you to Art Palm Beach in 2023 and beyond.

Sincerely,

Welcome to Art Palm Beach 2023!

I am delighted our show is making its debut and kicking off the winter art season this year in West Palm Beach, one of the most culturally vibrant and sophisticated cities in the country.

Featuring some of the most prestigious contemporary, emerging and modern art galleries, the show will provide a new entrée for collectors to explore and acquire the best of a broad selection of global contemporary and modern art in the vibrant cultural hub of South Florida.

We are excited at the many new and ground-breaking aspects we will be bringing to this new market in our inaugural edition, notably those that have made our sister show, the LA Art Show in Los Angeles, so successful for 28 years.

For the first time in South Florida, we will be introducing a platform with a rotating group of art institutions, called DIVERSEartPB. This special curated section of the show engages local communities by generating innovative ideas and driving social change through art.

We are also pleased to have forged a first of its kind local partnership here with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® We’re honored that St. Jude is partnering with Art Palm Beach and will be our Beneficiary.

ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL PATIENT ART GALLERY

ST. JUDE PATIENT TY

When Ty was 2 years old, scans confirmed he had a rare eye cancer called retinoblastoma. After a referral to St. Jude, his family learned it would be necessary to remove his right eye and undergo chemotherapy. Ty had a special interest that seemed to take his mind off treatment: art. St. Jude staff always made sure to have art supplies waiting for him in recovery. Cancer has been in Ty’s past for more than a decade now. But art is still very much a part of his life.

ST. JUDE PATIENT BRIDGET

“I thank God every day that she got kicked at soccer practice, because had she not, I don’t know when we would have found the cancer,” said Bridget’s mom, Jamie. Doctors at St. Jude determined an amputation would be necessary to the treatment of her bone cancer in her right tibia. These days, Bridget is cancer-free, and thanks to a prosthesis and her own determination, she’s back to sports.

ST. JUDE PATIENT TAYDE

Tayde was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at 7 years old. But St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® would shine a light of hope for her — not once, not twice, but three times. Tayde completed treatment for the last time in 1995, and her cancer has remained in remission. Today, Tayde is an artist and a mom.

ST. JUDE PATIENT CORALIZ

Coraliz was 10 years old when she became a patient at St. Jude. Her treatment for a type of bone cancer called osteosarcoma included chemotherapy and surgery to remove the affected bone. Coraliz returns to the hospital once a year as part of the St. Jude After Completion of Therapy Clinic. She’s in college, studying pediatric oncology. When Coraliz is not busy with her classes, she loves to paint and draw.

DIVERSEartPB is a special programming section devoted to nurturing the creative energy of international collectors, artists, curators, museums and non-profits by connecting them directly with audiences in West Palm Beach. Art Palm Beach donates exhibition space to participating organizations each year as our civic engagement, and the featured work is not for sale. Overall curation by Marisa Caichiolo with individual curators from institutions around the world.

DIVERSEartLA is a prominent art platform and a rotating section of museums, art institutions and non-profits annually featured at the LA ART SHOW Contemporary Art Fair in Los Angeles. By extension, DIVERSEartPB is the first edition of the same program at ART PALM BEACH. Its mission is to engage communities both locally and globally by connecting thought leaders and key figures within the art world to generate innovative ideas and drive social change through art.

The 2023 ART PALM BEACH edition will feature Florida-based non-profit organizations, international museums and artists participating for the first time in the fair, including internationally-renowned artist Marcos Lutyens, author of a powerful video art piece named “Particles.” The video installation was created for the IMAX Room at the Museum Sol del Niño in Mexico in collaboration with Collective Group Filamento and a collective project by visual artist and architect Guillermo Anselmo Vezzosi and Dr. Eric Larour (Scientist V and Group Supervisor for the Sea Level and Ice Group in the Earth Sciences Section at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory –– JPL/NASA).

The goal of DIVERSEartPB 2023 is to view this sector of art within the show through ecological glasses. The curatorial focus of this first edition is at the heart of a growing number of art narratives, including exhibitions built with high-tech innovations designed to inspire artistic appreciation and the desire to respond to environmental challenges. This program reinforces the value of translating environmental advocacy into art and the ways to better understand its effects on our lives, the environment and the urgent need for action.

One of the most powerful things about art is that it brings people together and transforms the way we communicate. This is achieved through immersive experiences and installations that invite visitors to consider potential solutions.

THE ECHO OF OBLIVION

What is time other than a succession of events that we inevitably try to control as we begin to forget…

As human beings, we are always willing to forget. Our essence is based on it, and we cannot avoid it because our existence also depends on it.

The past ––once our present and also as longed for and imagined as our future––is nothing more than a collection of facts, situations, events and circumstances that shape how we experience our present, which is nothing other than the reality we currently inhabit and a state in which we forget everything that we have already experienced.

Like an echo that momentarily exists in the environment as it tries to prolong its own existence yet ultimately disappears, we witness individual images appearing before us and merging into one as they claim their new essence. Old images from another time and era that have only been preserved due to harmony appear too before us. At a certain moment, and as a result of our presence, balance is lost, and we begin an inevitable, fearful journey towards oblivion.

But as that eternal process of catching everything in the shadows of oblivion is being consolidated, we realize that we are simply mere observers, whose passivity has only accelerated a process that should have happened naturally. It is the same process that allows a solid to take on a liquid state and change its shape ––but not its essence. A liquid’s past existence can be conceived as rigid, stable and permanent, but once altered, it is inevitably active.

ARTIST : MARCOS LUTYENS

CREATED FOR IMAX ROOM MUSEUM SOL DEL NINO / GRUPO FILAMENTO – MEXICO

“PARTICLES”

Particles/Partículas, which was originally created for an IMAX format in an exhibition curated by Marisa Caichiolo at the Sol del Niño Museum in Mexicali, Mexico, has a haunting beauty that guides the viewer through suggestions, taking them from a very arid and dry space towards one where each drop of water is celebrated as a source of life.

The archetypal work taps into Lutyens’s explorations of synesthesia, a condition in which certain people experience an involuntary crossover of the senses.

Particles/Partículas draws on Lutyens’s practice of hypnosis performances which he has showcased in many places such as Culture Summit in Abu Dhabi, the Guggenheim NY, the Centre Pompidou, and the Venice Biennial. For Lutyens, hypnosis and synesthesia is intimately linked and points to the possibility of expanding our consciousness through the rewiring of the mind at subconscious levels. He sees art as a transformative process in the audience.

The theme of water has been explored many times by Lutyens, particularly with his large scale sculpture, The Droplet, which was exhibited at the Musée de la Monnaie in 2017 in Paris. The project explored the theme of water security in a historical context and the threats we face today through climate change. He gained the support of eight of the world’s top water scientists, whose words were integrated into the 45’ high sculpture.

The narrative content of Particles/Partículas evolved from a recent trip to the desert area of Al’Ula in Saudi Arabia, in which cultures including the Nabateans have for centuries venerated water as the most precious element that is at the fulcrum between us thriving and our own ecological collapse.

The video, featuring artist Yi-Ping, is an allegory of a larger picture that is happening at planet scale, and hopefully in its own way influences the viewer to value each drop of water with which we come into contact.

PRESENTED BY VITRINA LAB NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION MIAMI ARTIST: IVAN NAVARRO

The artwork immerses the audience in a digitally-built artificial scenario. The trees, rocks, and fragments of soil are installed in what seems to be a film set, with steel structures (truss) and a chroma-green screen background, a technique used in post production to replace the background in films.

How do we navigate the idea of ‘landscape’ nowadays? How do we understand the territory under the notion of ‘natural’?

The animation shows a setting in which everything or nothing can happen, even a piece of timber floating without any reasonable explanation.

Finally, the music composition was designed by Francisca Bascuñán, by translating the data from the three-dimensional digital objects in the setting into sounds.

FEATURED EXHIBITIONS

Expanding beyond the confines of booth spaces, Featured Exhibitions create immersive experiences to engage audiences through thoughtprovoking artworks, performances and other exhibitions offered by participating galleries, highlighting works that will be talked about for years to come.

Highlights this year include works by Paul Fisher Gallery, Cavalier Gallery, Evan Lurie Gallery, Walker Fine Art, Galerie Fledermaus, and Waterhouse & Dodd

BRUCE HELANDER

Florida Artists Hall of Famer Bruce Helander will debut his new collection of colorful collages and paintings from his “Billboard Series” that explores the aesthetic tradition of American billboard imagery and its artistic communicative purpose. Curated by celebrated British art critic Anthony Haden-Guest, Helander’s special exhibit at the Paul Fisher Gallery will feature numerous captivating works that incorporate the tradition of outdoor advertisement depictions, which originally were hand-painted by commercial artists who stood precariously on scaffolding while holding a bucket of paint in one hand and a brush in the other.

In the image adjacent to this page, incorporating an original collage on museum board design, Helander meticulously has transferred and painted on canvas a graphic of sign painters taken from a vintage Forbes Magazine cover (circa 1940) and added imagery from his appropriation of Picasso masterworks. Helander had a special introduction to sign painting as a youth in his family’s grocery store, where while he stocked shelves, he often observed billboard painters laboring across the street. In this layout, two workers in white overalls diligently “build” a complicated arrangement from a maquette held by a painter as a guideline for the composition. The unfinished background is a cubist inspired abstract pattern that continues from the top to the bottom as the rope scaffolding is lowered or raised, depending on the area to be painted. The configuration is spatially enhanced further by the three-dimensional juxtaposition of the giant outdoor billboard high above a commercial building in Times Square.

Other works in the exhibit include “Pleasure Bound,” a refurbished billboard painting of a family traveling in a classic convertible car to a drive-in movie, featuring “Palm Beach or Bust!” stenciled on the rear bumper. Other works on view commemorate the American tradition of artists such as Norman Rockwell and Salvador Dali who also created advertising imagery.

CIRCUS

BY BJØRN OKHOLM SKAARUP

A Koala Bassoonist! A Rhino Strongman! In Bjørn Okholm Skaarup’s grand “Circus” installation, the animals themselves are running the show.

Comprised of 33 sculptures, the installation is inspired by the late-nineteenth century circus where costumes, banners, and colors created a neo-baroque symphony of larger-than-life forms and displays. Each sculpture within the installation highlights the spectacle of color and movement celebrated by a menagerie several years in the making.

“Ever since I was young, I’ve been drawn to the traveling circus that occasionally reached my birth town in the Danish province,” said sculptor Bjørn Okholm Skaarup. “To prepare for this installation, I spent several years collecting paraphernalia from the golden age of the American circus to fully immerse myself in that past artform with the understanding that the idea of the old circus had to be reconsidered and revised, especially in its mistreatment of wild animals. With “Circus,” I wanted to pay tribute to the spectacle of color and movement and can assure that not a single animal was harmed in the making of this large bronze menagerie.

”In the artist’s contemporary bestiary, or classical book of animals in bronze, each sculpture presents a whimsical story or allegory to decipher, with sources ranging from ancient fables and art history to music and modern animation. In this fantastical installation, a Lion ringmaster welcomes you to a show where the troupe is run entirely by animals. Featuring a grand 6 x 10-foot Circus ring, the installation is complete with a gathering of clowns, magicians, acrobats, dancers, and musicians.

“Bjørn is known for playing between the limits of nature and culture through his work, and this installation is no different,” said Ron Cavalier, President of Cavalier Galleries. “Through this installation, the artist pays tribute to the late-nineteenth century circus with a Hippo Ribbon Dancer, Rhino Strongman, Giraffe Clown, Sea Lion Juggler, Raccoon Oboist, Elephant Magician, Bear Roller Skater, Crocodile Tightrope Walkers, and more.”

“Circus” will be on-view at Art Palm Beach beginning Wednesday, January 25 to Sunday, January 29, 2023. The full installation will be available for acquisition, along with individual characters from the Circus collection.

MOSS GIANTS

BY KIM SIMONSSON

In the 2022 edition of Utopia, Lille’s culture and arts triennial, Kim Simonsson’s famed Moss People re-emerged as Giants and transformed the city-center of Lille, France into a breath-taking work of public art for the 6th grand thematic edition of lille3000.

Now, for the very first time, two Moss Giants will be exhibited stateside in Palm Beach.

As they were initially conceived by Kim Simonsson, the Moss People are wanderers from the Nordic forests. They are gatherers wearing foraged clothes and footwear meant to protect them from the elements and hide them in the woods. Like migratory birds, they move from one place to another, each with a drive to find their own purpose. Through a narrative that weaves between the real world and the supernatural, these strange and rare elves draw us into the heart of the Taiga— those dense northern forests rich in tales of the imagination.

The narrative arc of the Moss People is essentially never ending; with each new edition to the series, their story continues— now, it’s scaled up.

THE ROCK J. WALKER

BY M. C. ESCHER

COLLECTION

The late Dutch artist, M.C. Escher (1898 to 1972) is well-known for his woodcuts and lithographs such as Day and Night, Sky and Water I, Drawing Hands, Waterfall, Hand with Reflecting Sphere, and Puddle.

Such images adorn the walls of college dormitories and of major museum exhibitions, and are familiar to collectors of all ages. However, largely unknown are his drawings and watercolors, and the original woodblocks used for printing. He never offered these unique works for sale and it was only when select works from his estate were made available that they came to light.

The Featured Exhibition at the Art Palm Beach Show will feature a curated selection of the total collection, consisting of over 400 original works by the artist acquired over four decades, The Rock J. Walker collection is the second largest of the three comprehensive Escher collections that remain in private hands, it has been exhibited in a number of United States cities and Europe during the past three decades, most recently in New York at Industry City. It comprises works in all mediums and from all periods of the artist’s career, it is especially strong in unique works. Included are, for example, the animal tiling prints on silk, tessellation watercolors, and color variations of prints. One highlight is a self-portrait ceramic plate, Escher’s only ceramic work, together with its accompanying watercolor. The collection is strong in preparatory drawings and original woodblocks, many of which has not been published before . These primary works reveal the through processes and labor that went into creating a print and they stand alone as works of art; the block of the Old Olive Tree, for instance, is as much of a masterpiece as the final wood engraving.

Above all, this assemblage contains an abundance of what made Escher famous. Tessellations, geometric figures, and impossible structures were the recurring themes in Escher’s oeuvre. Over fifty tessellations, images in which figures interlock with each other perfectly, grace this collection. All of Escher’s “impossible buildings” are represented. Not only do these prints entertain the eye and the brain; many of them relate strongly to aspects of mathematics and science. The collection also contains models, letters, tools, photographs and several pieces of furniture designed, cut, carved and assembled by Escher .

RAINTYPE

BY LORENZO MARINI

This immersive installation is inspired by a rainy day. Only here the drops of rain never fall, but remain suspended in a linguistic universe waiting to be discovered. Letters only become such when joined with other letters and take the form of the word. They acquire meaning in their linear composition. In this work of art, the letters never touch land, but remain in the world of ideas, of the possible, of the potential. They are in no hurry to touch the ground, they are in no hurry to become a word, a sentence, a discourse. They love the freedom of space and the suspension of time. They aspire to become fragments of eternity.

DUNCAN MCCORMICK

McCormick had his first work at auction at Phillips London New Now in December estimate 10,000 – 15,000 GPG and sold with a hammer of 95,000GBP. Upcoming sale this January 25th Contemporary Discoveries at Sotheby’s London.

Duncan Robert McCormick is a Shropshire based artist with strong links to Birmingham and London. He has works in both private and corporate collections and has exhibited both nationally and internationally. This includes twelve pieces in the Morgan Stanley collection on long term display at their Canary Wharf premises.

After two decades of working predominantly in oils, McCormick started using acrylic paint as his medium of choice during the lock-down period. At the same time his work saw a shift away from his previous narrative-based work to gentle landscapes and interiors as a means of escapism.

This proved to be very popular with his audiences and a strong personal draw. His work continues to develop the same theme post-lock-down. Some of McCormick’s influences are clear, such as David Hockney and Peter Doig. Other, less direct, influences include Howard Hodgkin, Louis Le Brocquy, and Pierre Bonnard.

McCormick’s palette is heavily influenced by a period living and working in Barcelona. Above all, he views his art as a means to communicate positivity and share in the triumph of colour.

PRESENTED BY WATERHOUSE & DODD

ALBERT WILLEM

Albert Willem is a contemporary figurative artist who lives and works in Brussels. He is best known for his naïve-styled paintings, rich with wit and humour, with a folksy and infantile element to their composition. His subjects are generally lighthearted, deliberately avoiding profound themes, with twists of the humour that is integral to Willem’s practice.

His works, often painted in acrylics on original early 20th century canvases, often show ironic or larger-than-life moments in everyday life: people fighting at a wedding, dancing at a funeral, an infinite conga line. He draws also on humour as an over-compensation for his physiological and emotional fears, both past and present, including highly personal quirks like the panic he feels when confronted by a dance floor.

Willem’s paintings encompass a sense of his artistic lineage that can be traced back through the works of LS Lowry, James Ensor and Breugel the Elder, all artists that he greatly admires. Drawing down on Lowry’s artistic sense of normalcy and primitivism, Willem brings a contemporary spin on this style by depicting everyday life, without judgements of right or wrong, in 21st century society.

Willem lives and works in Alsemberg, Belgium, and in recent years has exhibited in Lenningen in Germany, in Moscow and in Antwerp.

He has said of his works: “I do not strive for perfection; on the contrary, I try to avoid it because otherwise it undermines the humour.”
