Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889)

Movimiento Impresionista

El legado de Alexandre Cabanel es el de un maestro de la pintura académica y un pilar del “viejo mundo” del arte. Como el artista de mayor éxito de su generación en Francia, su influencia se extendió por todo el Salón de París, los círculos oficiales y las escuelas de arte. A diferencia de los impresionistas, quienes lo veían como una figura a derrocar, Cabanel representaba el epíteto del gusto burgués y la tradición.

Su contribución más importante al arte fue su dominio técnico del Neoclasicismo y el Romanticismo, que combinó para crear obras de gran sensualidad y pulcritud. Cabanel era un virtuoso en la representación de figuras mitológicas e históricas, y sus lienzos se distinguen por una superficie lisa, un dibujo impecable y una idealización de la forma humana. Su obra más famosa, “El nacimiento de Venus”, es un ejemplo perfecto de su estilo. La figura, con su piel de porcelana y una pose sensual, fue un éxito rotundo en el Salón de 1863 y un favorito de Napoleón III. Esta obra personifica los ideales de belleza, orden y perfección que la élite de la época admiraba.

El legado de Cabanel es el de un fuerte contraste con el Impresionismo. Su éxito y el apoyo que recibió de las instituciones de arte demostraron exactamente contra qué se rebelaban los artistas de la nueva generación. Mientras Cabanel ofrecía una visión idealizada y pulida del mundo, los impresionistas buscaban la cruda realidad de la luz y la vida cotidiana. Aunque su estilo finalmente cayó en desuso con el advenimiento del arte moderno, la obra de Cabanel es un documento histórico invaluable. Nos muestra, de manera brillante, el tipo de arte que era considerado la cima de la excelencia en la época, y lo hace una figura esencial para entender la revolución que vino después.

Claves para pintores de arte concreto, abstracción geométrica y minimalismo

Esta guía teórica presenta un marco claro para pensar el estilo dentro de las prácticas no figurativas, especialmente en los lenguajes de la abstracción geométrica, el minimalismo y el arte concreto. No se trata de fórmulas ni modas visuales, sino de entender la construcción de un lenguaje visual coherente a través del tiempo.

El objetivo es ayudarte a identificar las decisiones formales y conceptuales que configuran tu obra —composición, ritmo, color, materialidad, escala, repetición, orden— y cómo éstas dialogan con una tradición estética que, aunque aparentemente fría o racional, también está profundamente conectada con lo humano, lo espiritual y lo sensorial.

Este documento es breve, atemporal y útil en cualquier etapa del desarrollo artístico.

1. Introducción

Hablar de “estilo propio” en arte no figurativo es abordar una cuestión esencial pero a menudo mal entendida. En un campo visual donde predominan los lenguajes abstractos, encontrar una voz personal no depende de representar un objeto o una figura reconocible, sino de definir con precisión una serie de decisiones formales: relaciones espaciales, geometría, uso del color, ritmo, escala, superficie, materialidad.

El estilo no se reduce a una “firma visual” ni a una estética de moda. Es una consecuencia orgánica de la coherencia entre pensamiento, proceso y resultado. En el arte concreto y minimalista, donde cada elemento visual debe tener una función específica, el estilo emerge de la economía de medios, de la lógica interna del sistema compositivo y del modo en que una obra se relaciona con el espacio que la rodea.

No es algo que se fuerza ni se imposta: es algo que se construye, se descubre y se afina con el tiempo.

2. Factores que configuran tu estilo en lenguajes no figurativos

1. Formación visual y referentes conceptuales
Aunque no se represente lo visible, ningún artista trabaja en el vacío. Tus influencias —desde el arte constructivo latinoamericano hasta el minimalismo estadounidense, pasando por Bauhaus o el suprematismo ruso— moldean tu mirada. Entender cómo tus obras se insertan (o se distancian) de estas corrientes es clave para desarrollar un lenguaje propio.

2. Materiales, soporte y técnicas específicas
La elección del soporte, la forma de aplicar el color, el uso de la línea, la textura del material, la precisión o la irregularidad en la ejecución… Todo eso define el carácter de una obra no figurativa. El estilo se consolida en esos detalles formales, no en el tema.

3. Sistema visual y lógica interna
En la abstracción geométrica o el minimalismo, muchas veces el estilo radica en la coherencia del sistema que organiza la obra: proporciones, simetrías, repetición, variación controlada, orden serial. Esas decisiones —cómo estructuras el plano, cómo administras la tensión visual— son tan reconocibles como un rostro.

4. Intención y mirada conceptual
Incluso en el arte más depurado, hay una mirada detrás. ¿Qué buscas activar en el espectador? ¿Una experiencia contemplativa? ¿Una reflexión sobre el espacio? ¿Una conexión sensorial con el color o el ritmo? Esa intención guía tus decisiones y le da a tu obra una dimensión que trasciende lo formal.

3. Errores comunes al buscar un estilo en arte no figurativo

1. Confundir estilo con fórmula estética
No todo lenguaje visual repetido es estilo. Puede ser solo hábito o fórmula. Un estilo auténtico en arte abstracto no se basa en repetir patrones decorativos, sino en mantener un sistema conceptual y formal claro que permita variaciones sin perder coherencia.

2. Seguir tendencias superficiales
El arte concreto y minimalista han sido absorbidos por el mercado decorativo, lo que genera confusión. No todo lo que “parece” minimalista o geométrico tiene sustancia conceptual. Seguir modas sin pensamiento crítico lleva a un lenguaje vacío.

3. Forzar una “marca” desde el inicio
Es normal querer destacar, pero imponer una firma visual prematura puede limitar la evolución natural del trabajo. La claridad viene con la práctica, no con la obsesión por diferenciarse de forma artificial.

4. Resistirse al cambio por miedo a perder identidad
Un estilo fuerte puede mutar sin perder su esencia. Cambiar de paleta, variar el formato, introducir nuevos materiales no es perder el estilo, sino enriquecerlo. La identidad visual se sostiene en la lógica interna, no en la repetición literal.

4. Claves curatoriales para encontrar tu propio estilo

1. El estilo es consecuencia, no punto de partida
Los grandes artistas del arte concreto y el minimalismo no nacieron con un estilo cerrado. Lo fueron descubriendo mientras resolvían problemas formales específicos. Tu estilo se revelará a medida que trabajes con rigor y consistencia.

2. La tradición no figurativa también se dialoga
Aunque no trabajes con imágenes reconocibles, estás dialogando con una historia visual concreta. Desde Mondrian hasta Cruz-Diez, desde Agnes Martin hasta Carmen Herrera, hay una conversación que continúa en tu obra.

3. Coherencia ≠ rigidez
Tu estilo puede sostenerse en una lógica estructural sin convertirse en una cárcel formal. Hay lugar para la sorpresa, el error, el desvío, siempre que se sostenga en una investigación genuina.

4. Lo mínimo también es profundo
La reducción visual no implica superficialidad. Lo mínimo exige una atención máxima a cada elemento. En ese nivel de exigencia, la identidad aparece con más claridad.

Conclusión

Hablar de estilo en arte abstracto, concreto o minimalista es hablar de una construcción rigurosa y paciente. No se trata de encontrar una firma visual para destacarse, sino de desarrollar una gramática propia que permita expresar ideas, percepciones y tensiones sin necesidad de representación figurativa.

El estilo no es una meta, sino el resultado de una trayectoria comprometida. Es una forma de pensamiento hecha forma, color, ritmo y espacio. Lo importante no es diferenciarse, sino construir un lenguaje que tenga sentido —para ti y para quienes lo experimentan— y que pueda evolucionar con honestidad en el tiempo.

What Is Contemporary Art? Understanding the Art of Our Time

What Is Contemporary Art? Understanding the Art of Our Time

Contemporary art can be one of the most fascinating—and challenging—genres to define. But at its core, contemporary art refers to the art of the present day, created by living artists who are responding to the world around them.

It generally includes works produced after the modern art movement, starting roughly in the late 1960s or early 1970s, continuing up to the present moment. However, it’s not just defined by its time period—contemporary art is a mindset, a reflection, and often a disruption of norms.

A Mirror of the Modern World

Contemporary art reflects the complexities of our global, interconnected, and fast-evolving world. Unlike previous art movements with distinct styles or manifestos, contemporary art is:

  • Diverse in medium: Includes traditional painting and sculpture, as well as video art, installation, performance, and digital media.
  • Flexible in form: Often experimental and open-ended rather than following classical structure.
  • Concept-driven: Many contemporary works prioritize ideas over aesthetics.

These works often explore:

  • Cultural or personal identity
  • Politics and social justice
  • Technology and the digital age
  • Environmental and existential issues

It’s art that makes you think, question, feel, and even argue.

Why Is It Hard to Define?

Because it encompasses such a broad range of styles, techniques, and perspectives, contemporary art resists strict definition. There’s no single way contemporary artists create or communicate.

However, what unites many contemporary artists is their commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries. Their art is often abstract, conceptual, and process-based, and it may challenge traditional values and artistic conventions.

Notable Contemporary Artists You Should Know

Let’s look at a few key figures in contemporary art to deepen your understanding of this genre:

1. Yayoi Kusama

Japanese artist known for her immersive installations, polka dots, and infinity mirror rooms.
Her work blends conceptual art, feminism, minimalism, surrealism, and pop art.
Her themes often reflect psychological and autobiographical content.

2. Jeff Koons

An American artist known for his Neo-Pop aesthetic and sculptures of balloon animals, toys, and consumer products.
His art playfully comments on mass culture, consumerism, and the role of kitsch in society.

3. Ai Weiwei

A Chinese artist and activist whose conceptual art explores themes of freedom, censorship, and cultural identity.
His work often combines traditional Chinese symbols with modern political commentary, making him one of the most influential contemporary artists globally.

4. Damien Hirst

A British artist and key figure in the Young British Artists movement.
Famous for using dead animals, medical instruments, and ready-made objects to explore themes like death, beauty, and the nature of art itself.

Why Contemporary Art Matters

Contemporary art isn’t just about what’s “new”—it’s about how we understand the world now.

It offers:

  • Reflection of current events and social issues
  • Engagement with cutting-edge technology and media
  • Platforms for underrepresented voices and global dialogue
  • Freedom from traditional constraints and definitions

Most importantly, it invites you—the viewer—to participate, interpret, and question.

In Summary

Contemporary art is the art of today—fluid, diverse, and boundary-breaking. It captures the tension, beauty, and complexity of our times in ways no other form can. Whether through powerful political statements or deeply personal explorations, contemporary art helps us better understand not only the world—but ourselves.

So, the next time you’re in a gallery or scrolling through digital installations, ask yourself not just “What is this?” but “What is this saying about now?”

If you’re curious to explore more, consider diving into the work of the artists above or visiting contemporary art spaces in your city. The world of contemporary art is vast—and there’s something in it waiting to speak directly to you.

A Solo Exhibition by Elizabeth Stainberg

You’re invited to the Debut Solo Exhibition of Elizabeth Stainberg, a multidisciplinary artist whose new series, Heritage and Legacy, explores migration, memory, and the enduring power of human movement.

🗓 Date: Thursday, September 11th, 2025🕕 Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM📍 Kimpton EPIC Hotel270 Biscayne Blvd Way, Miami, FL 33131

✨ Complimentary appetizers will be served

Exhibition Statement: Heritage and Legacy

“I explore the deep and timeless human experience of movement — across lands, across waters, across boundaries both visible and invisible.

The central visual language of the series is circular. Surrounding these are other pieces representing oceans and seas, not merely as geographic features but as vast, emotional spaces that connect and divide. The circles speak of continuity, but also of isolation.

The silent travelers cross from one continent to another, suspended in mid-journey. These humble figures symbolize the personal and collective stories of migration — stories of hope, struggle, displacement, and resilience.

My intent is to create a quiet, contemplative space where viewers are invited to reflect on their own histories of movement, whether ancestral, recent, or imagined — in a time when borders are being redefined and the meaning of belonging is constantly shifting.”— Elizabeth Stainberg

LINCOLN ROAD ANNOUNCES DYNAMIC NEW PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONSFOR ART WEEK MIAMI BEACH 2025

LINCOLN ROAD ANNOUNCES DYNAMIC NEW PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONS
FOR ART WEEK MIAMI BEACH 2025

Miami Beach’s Cultural District Features Philippe Katerine’s “Mr. Pink Takes Flight,” Works by Gillie and Marc, the Inaugural Call to Artists Winner Oscar Esteban Martinez’s “La Herencia Viva” and Rubem Robierb’s Sculptures 

  • Philippe Katerine’s “Mr. Pink Takes Flight” – five monumental bubblegum-pink inflatables and one sculpture (ranging from 12 to 20 feet tall) bringing Katerine’s playful philosophy of Mignonisme (“Cuteism”) to life, turning rooftops and sidewalks into whimsical, interactive art experiences.
  • Oscar Esteban Martinez’s “La Herencia Viva”  – the winning sculpture from the Lincoln Road BID’s inaugural Call to Artists program, featuring a fragmented mirrored human face that invites viewers to see themselves reflected while exploring themes of identity, coexistence and belonging along the promenade.
  • Rubem Robierb’s “Dream Machine” and “Empower Flower” –interactive public sculptures encouraging visitors to reflect and participate, symbolizing resilience, hope, transformation and the power of dreams fulfilled.
  • Gillie and Marc’s “The Wild Couch Party,” “Watch Out for Paparazzi Dog”, “Watch Out for Paparazzi Rabbit” and more – new large-scale bronze sculptures joining their existing works along Lincoln Road, continuing the duo’s mission of raising awareness for endangered wildlife while engaging visitors through playful, interactive public art.

 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach’s iconic open-air pedestrian promenade, cultural hub, public art park and sculpture garden, will once again come alive for Art Week Miami Beach 2025 with a strong lineup of free public art with 14 installations. Headlining the program are: French artist Philippe Katerine’s monumental “Mr. Pink Takes Flight” inflatables, Rubem Robierb’s “Dream Machine” and “Empower Flower”, Oscar Esteban Martinez’s “La Herencia Viva”—the winning sculpture from Lincoln Road’s inaugural Call to Artists—and expanded works by internationally celebrated duo Gillie and Marc.

At the forefront of Lincoln Road’s Art Week 2025 installations is “Mr. Pink Takes Flight” (“Monsieur Rose s’envole”), a series of six cartoon-like bubblegum-pink pieces (five inflatables perched on buildings, one sculpture at street level) towering between 12 and 20 feet tall. Katerine, who lives in Paris, is a celebrated singer-songwriter, actor and visual artist who consistently blends humor with reflection on everyday life, challenging audiences to see the world through fresh and unexpected perspectives. The artworks embody Katerine’s philosophy of Mignonisme (“Cuteism”), a movement celebrating the aesthetics of cuteness. They were produced by EXMURO, a public art organization based in Quebec City, Canada and rentingART, an art agency based in Paris, France. The installations will be on view from November 2025 through April 2026.

“Mr. Pink was created to bring humor, tenderness and joy into everyday life,” said Katerine. “He embodies my vision of Mignonisme, which celebrates the power of cuteness to transform ordinary spaces into places of wonder. Seeing him arrive on Lincoln Road during Art Week Miami Beach is especially meaningful: The street is not only a cultural landmark but also a true open-air gallery where art and daily life meet. It feels like the perfect home for Mr. Pink, who was born to surprise, delight and spark moments of playfulness. My hope is that he adds another layer to this dialogue—turning rooftops and sidewalks into spaces of poetry, color and imagination.”

Adding to the lineup is “La Herencia Viva” (“The Living Heritage”) by Miami-based Colombian artist Oscar Esteban Martinez, the winner of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District’s (LRBID) first-ever Call to Artists. Selected from over 75 international submissions, the installation features a fragmented human face crafted from puzzle-like segments and mirrored panels, exploring themes of identity, coexistence and belonging. Positioned along the promenade, the work invites visitors to see themselves reflected within it and contemplate the connections that unite communities. The piece will remain on view through June 2026.

Lincoln Road will also be showcasing two sculptures by internationally recognized visual artist Rubem Robierb, who has previously presented works along the promenade and had his design chosen as Miami’s Official Host City Poster for the FIFA World Cup 2026. “Dream Machine” represents the materialization of human wishes and the timeless longing to see dreams fulfilled, with its wings symbolizing resilience and hope while inviting visitors to stand between them, close their eyes and imagine a place where dreams come true. “Empower Flower”, inspired by the White Lotus, extends Robierb’s exploration of universal symbols of transformation and strength, translating the emblem of rebirth and feminine power into a contemporary icon through sweeping and fluid lines. Known for creating interactive works that invite personal reflection and participation, Robierb has exhibited widely with public sculptures in New York, Miami and beyond, further underscoring his ability to capture the spirit of resilience and cultural identity through art.

Further enriching the Art Week Miami Beach program is Lincoln Road’s partnership with Gillie and Marc, internationally acclaimed artists described by The New York Times as “the most successful and prolific creators of public art in New York’s history.” Their works on display include “The Wild Couch Party,” a 40-foot-long bronze sculpture featuring 12 endangered animals gathered alongside the duo’s signature characters Dogman and Rabbitwoman, as well as “Watch Out for Paparazzi Dog” and “Watch Out for Paparazzi Rabbit.” These new installations, on view until July 2026, join the artists’ earlier pieces already on view along the promenade, “The Giraffe and Chimpanzee Were on a Wild Ride to a Safer Place with Rabbitwoman and Dogman” and “The White Rhino Bench of Friendship,” continuing their mission to raise awareness for wildlife conservation through accessible public art.  

“Lincoln Road has long been a destination where culture, commerce and creativity intersect,” said Lyle Stern, president of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District. “Our commitment to public art is at the heart of that vision. From supporting world-renowned artists like Philippe Katerine and Gillie and Marc, to launching our inaugural Call to Artists program, the BID works to make Lincoln Road a public art park and sculpture garden where everyone can experience innovative, thought-provoking installations. Art Week Miami Beach is the perfect opportunity to showcase how public art transforms the promenade, encourages conversation and connects our community and visitors through shared experiences.”

From gallery experiences to interactive activations along the promenade, Lincoln Road offers a full spectrum of artistic engagement. Beyond large-scale installations, it features more than nine boutique art galleries with rotating art, showcasing everything from photography and contemporary paintings to sculptures and mixed-media works. Visitors can discover pieces by emerging local talent as well as established international artists, attracting over 10 million people annually and reinforcing Lincoln Road as a year-round cultural destination. Visitors can explore exhibits across the district, including special programming during the Lincoln Road Art Walk, held every third Thursday of the month. In addition to visual art, Lincoln Road is also a hub for the performing arts, including the New World Center, home of the New World Symphony, and the Colony Theatre, home to Miami New Drama.

Fall 2025 Exhibitions

Fall 2025 Exhibitions: 

 Sarah Paul, Self Stitched: Electric Care

SCHMIDT CENTER GALLERY 
On View: August 28, 2025 – October 10, 2025 

Celebration Reception: September 11, 2025, from 4:30 pm – 8:30 pm

This solo exhibition on healing, power and the fabric of self surveys the immersive, interdisciplinary practice of artist Sarah Paul, whose work transforms trauma into tactile, participatory environments. Using fiber, video, sound, and light, Paul crafts spaces that hold both pain and possibility, inviting viewers to engage with the body as a site of vulnerability and resilience. Rooted in feminist, punk, and queer traditions, her work explores themes of mental health, power, and the physical and psychological labor of healing. From the enveloping architecture of Fiber Chamber to the performative journeys of Little Miss Cleveland, Paul’s installations challenge societal norms while offering space for reflection, reclamation, and radical self-definition. 

A Global Lens: Capturing Culture Through Summer Study  

SCHMIDT CENTER PUBLIC SPACE 
On View: August 28, 2025 – September 21, 2025 

Opening Reception: August 28, 2025, from 4:30 pm – 8:30 pm

A Global Lens showcases projects and photographs created by students and faculty during FAU’s College of Arts and Letters summer programs on campus and abroad, notably in Ecuador and Italy.

This exhibition highlights their summer experiences, offering a glimpse into the transformative power of global education. Featuring images provided by students and faculty supervisors, A Global Lens celebrates the intersection of travel, learning, and creative exploration. 

Unearthed Futures: The Archaeology of Tomorrow 

RITTER ART GALLERY 
On View: August 28, 2025 – November 9, 2025

Opening Reception: August 28, 2025, from 4:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Unearthed Futures: The Archaeology of Tomorrow invites viewers into three chambers where imagined relics of the future offer a poetic critique of the past. In chamber one, Angelo Caruso constructs tactile, tech-infused works destabilizing sensory expectations of “visual art.” Second, Mariana Monteagudo excavates layered narratives, blending organic textures with digital aesthetics to evoke artifacts from yet-to-exist civilizations. In the final chamber, AI-generated texts reimagine the contested histories of early 20th-century African and Oceanian objects—created for the tourist export market and now held in FAU’s collections—using speculative history and sly humor to question collecting ethics and the fictions we tell about provenance. Together, these works suggest that the futures we unearth are never neutral—they are constructed, contested, and strangely familiar. With a cameo by renowned artist Matthew Angelo Harrison, whose sculptural practice interrogates cultural ownership and labor through the lens of post-industrial preservation, this is archaeology turned inside out. 

 

Art Amidst Darkness: Holocaust Testimonies from the Yad Vashem Collection

The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt

SCHMIDT CENTER PUBLIC SPACE
On View: December 9, 2025 – December 16, 2025 

In recognition of World AIDS Day, the University Galleries is honored to partner for the third year with Compass Community Center and its collaborators to display six panels from the AIDS Memorial Quilt—the largest community art project in history. Now over 35 years old, the quilt is composed of more than 50,000 hand-sewn panels, each one commemorating an individual lost to HIV/AIDS. 
The project began in 1985, when activist Cleve Jones invited participants in a candlelight march in San Francisco to honor those who had died by writing their names on placards. Arranged like a patchwork quilt, these placards became the inspiration for what would become the NAMES Project, first exhibited at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in 1987.

Durban Segnini Gallery Presents: Light for the Amazon

Curated by Omar López-Chahoud
Opening Reception & Benefit Event: Thursday, September 11, 2025 | 6:00 – 10:00 PM

Miami, FL – Durban Segnini Gallery is pleased to announce Light for the Amazon, a powerful exhibition curated by Omar López-Chahoud, featuring a dynamic selection of works from the gallery’s collection. The exhibition opens with a special benefit event and reception on Thursday, September 11, 2025, from 6:00 to 10:00 PM, at the gallery’s space in Coral Gables.

Participating artists: Harry Abend, Carmelo Arden Quin, Mario Abreu, Ricardo Alcaide, Antonio Asis, José Luis Cuevas, Elsa Gramko, Sol LeWitt, Roberto Matta, Julio Le Parc, Mercedes Pardo, Richard Prince, Mira Schendel, Manolo Vellojín, and many others.

Bringing together iconic figures of 20th-century Latin American modernism alongside contemporary artists from diverse generations and cultural backgrounds, Light for the Amazon creates a compelling visual dialogue across time. The exhibition explores the intersections of geometric abstraction, loose figuration, and references to pre-Hispanic visual languages, shedding light on the enduring influence of Latin American artistic heritage in today’s global conversation.

The curatorial approach weaves a narrative that not only honors the depth of Latin American art history but also reflects on pressing contemporary themes, including the environmental and cultural significance of the Amazon.

Untitled Art, Miami Beach Announces Exhibitors for 2025 Edition

Leading contemporary art fair Untitled Art, Miami Beach announces exhibitors and a new Guest Curators program, ushering in a more collaborative and dynamic curatorial approach for its 14th edition. This year also marks the launch of the fair’s inaugural Houston edition, taking place September 19–21, 2025, at the George R. Brown Convention Center, establishing a new cultural destination for contemporary art in the region.

For its 2025 Miami Beach edition, the fair welcomes Guest Curators Petra Cortright, Allison Glenn, and Jonny Tanna with Harlesden High Street, each bringing distinct expertise to shape this year’s sectors and reinforce Untitled Art’s role as a curatorial platform for discovery and emerging talent.

This year, Untitled Art, Miami Beach will feature 157 exhibitors. Comprised of This year, Untitled Art, Miami Beach will feature 157 exhibitors. Comprised of galleries and non-profit organizations from 29 countries and territories, the 2025 edition spans participants from over 70 cities worldwide. The 2025 edition will welcome many new participants, including Harper’s (East Hampton / New York, NY), Meliksetian | Briggs (Dallas, TX), Spencer Brownstone (New York, NY), Gene Gallery (Shanghai, CN), PALMA (Guadalajara, MX), HAIR+NAILS (Minneapolis, MN / New York, NY), Soho Revue (London, UK), and Swivel Gallery (New York, NY) to its Main sector, while reaffirming its commitment to its Nest sector, featuring first-time participants such as A-Lounge Contemporary (Seoul, KR), Cierra Britton Gallery (New York, NY), Hidrante (San Juan, PR), Bolanle Contemporary (London, UK), Post Times (New York, NY), Long Story Short (New York, NY / Paris, FR), Sorondo Projects (Barcelona, ES), and John Doe Gallery (Los Angeles, CA).

Returning exhibitors to the fair’s main and Nest sectors will include Carl Freedman Gallery (Margate, UK), Miro Presents (London, UK), TERN (Nassau, BS), Superposition (Nomadic), CURRO (Guadalajara, MX), Stems Gallery (Brussels, BE), WHATIFTHEWORLD (Cape Town, ZA), CARVALHO (Brooklyn, NY), IRL Gallery (New York, NY), homework (Miami, FL), and Rajiv Menon Contemporary (Los Angeles, CA), reaffirming the fair’s longstanding partnerships and dedication to galleries from across the globe.

“We are continually reimagining what an art fair can be and the vital role that they play in the contemporary art landscape. This year’s exhibitors embody our commitment to discovery through new sectors alongside an expanded Guest Curators program. By championing emerging talent and supporting both new and established galleries, we aim to strengthen our community and also show the possibilities of what an art fair can achieve,” says Clara Andrade Pereira, Executive Director of Untitled Art.

The 2025 Nest sector is curated by Jonny Tanna, founder and director of Harlesden High Street and co-founder of Minor Attractions in London. Tanna’s curatorial approach, grounded in experimentation, seeks to bridge social and cultural divides within contemporary art. “I’m proud to spotlight POC-run spaces that are often excluded from mainstream fairs and to provide them with a platform to reach a broader audience,” notes Tanna. This year, Nest returns in a reimagined format as a continuous section within the fair and has expanded to welcome 36 galleries, embracing the spirit of community at the core of experimental art fair concepts.

As part of a new initiative aligned with Untitled Art’s mission to support broader diversity in its programming, the fair introduces a dedicated section to non-profit organizations as a branch of its Nest sector. Featuring longstanding partners such as LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies, Columbia University (New York, NY), Aperture (New York, NY), The55Project Art Foundation (Miami, FL), and Dimensions Variable (Miami, FL), the sector will also include newcomers to the roster such as NYC Culture Club (New York, NY) and New World School of Arts (Miami, FL).

Untitled Art will debut a new sector, ‘Artist Spotlight,’ dedicated to solo presentations and curated by interdisciplinary artist Petra Cortright. This initiative provides galleries a platform to showcase emerging and established artists, focusing on specific bodies of work and providing deeper insights into their practices. Cortright aims to amplify artistic practices that are often underrepresented in art fairs, focusing on digital culture and outsider art. “I was interested in incorporating digital culture, screens, and outsider art — even the concept of the outsider itself — into the fair as much as possible,” she explained. Exhibitors in this sector include Sho Shibuya with Bienvenu Steinberg & C (New York, NY), Jack Butcher with SOLOS (London, UK), Kelvin Haizel with Gallery 1957 (Accra, GH), Lyndon Barrois Jr. with Alma Pearl (London, UK), Eetu Sihvonen with Marc Bibiloni (Madrid, ES), and Joji Nakamura with The Fridge (New York, NY). This sector is generously supported by Shipping Partner, Cadogan Tate.

Allison Glenn, Artistic Director-at-Large of The Shepherd (Detroit, MI) and Curator of the 2026 Toronto Biennial of Art, will lead the fair’s Special Projects, featuring site-specific installations and ambitious projects from artists across North and Central America, distributed throughout the fair. Glenn’s curatorial focus for this year’s sector takes inspiration from Untitled Art, Miami Beach’s unique location. “South Beach is part of a long chain of barrier islands surrounded by many intersecting bodies of water,” notes Glenn, “and this year’s Special Projects sector will consider how artists engage with its many manifestations, including water as a connector, material, methodology, and conceptual link.” Participants under the sector will be announced in due course.

Both fairs in Houston and Miami Beach will continue to offer robust critical and educational programming, including a dynamic on-site podcast series featuring leading industry experts and artists, live performances, and the Untitled Edit platform—a series of commissioned essays that advance art criticism and nurture the next generation of art writers.

Continuing its commitment to sustainability, Untitled Art is a proud member of the Gallery Climate Coalition and collaborates closely with the City of Miami Beach to ensure a zero-impact presentation. The 2025 fair will also adapt its original Nautilus-inspired pavilion, custom-designed by Keenen/Riley for Untitled Art’s inaugural edition in 2012.

Visitors from around the world will be able to experience Untitled Art, Miami Beach through digital platforms and returning partnerships, enhancing the fair’s accessibility and global reach. Details on partners, prizes, and programming will be announced later this Autumn.
