• Beeple and Peter Saul Explain the Merits of ‘Being the Bad Guy’ at Miami Talk

  01-12-2021 23:35 via artnews.com
  
  As art-world insiders flocked to the NADA Miami fair, Beeple and Peter Saul, two outsiders whose work has only recently been embraced by dealers and institutions, sat down for a conversation at the Bass museum. Saul and Beeple are separated by years, movement, character, and the medium in which they work. One produces Pop-inflected figurative paintings; the other makes NFTs that have, over the past year, sold for millions of dollars.
  But one unexpected figure does appear in both of their works:

• Gallerist Ebony L. Haynes on Her NADA Miami Section: ‘Hopefully This Will Feel Like a Place for Discovery’

  01-12-2021 22:53 via artnews.com
  
  In October, Ebony L. Haynes inaugurated 52 Walker, a New York gallery operated under the aegis of David Zwirner, with a Kandis Williams solo show that earned rave reviews. When plans were revealed for 52 Walker last year, Zwirner praised Haynes as “a thinker and an activist, and not just an art dealer.” That assertion figures once more at the NADA Miami Beach art fair, where Haynes has curated a special section. 
  In an interview, Haynes explained that her aim is to further the m

  In a live-streamed ceremony on Wednesday evening, the Tate museum network in England named the Array Collective the winner of the 2021 Turner Prize, one of the world’s most prestigious art awards.

• The Best Booths at NADA Miami, from Powerful Portraits to Spirit Carriers

  01-12-2021 22:07 via artnews.com
  
  If fatigue was setting in from Art Basel Miami Beach’s VIP preview on Tuesday, it didn’t show during the opening of NADA Miami on Wednesday, where dealers, collectors, and more crowded into Ice Palace Film Studios to see booths by around 170 galleries. On the whole, those enterprises trend younger than the ones that show at Art Basel, but the offerings this year at NADA were surprisingly more understated than what can currently be seen across the causeway.
