Fairs devoted exclusively to vintage and contemporary photography is an emerging and growing sector of the art fair market.
There are now major photography fairs in Paris, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Milan, New York and Santiago. As experienced fair organizers –
and with the advice and counsel of key photography dealers – we recognize the real need for such a specialty fair during America’s most
important art fair week each year.
Focus Miami – The Photo Fair offers new access to the global collector market drawn to Miami during its annual fair week in December.
Miami during Art Basel Miami attracts America’s most elite gathering of global collectors, socialites, and celebrities. It is the
largest private jet destination event of the year and is both America’s largest individual contemporary art fair and largest collective
group of contemporary art fairs.
Ideally located in Wynwood’s Midtown Arts District virtually next to the Art Miami and Miami Project fairs and directly across from the Scope and
Art Asia fairs, Focus Miami’s ideal location assures substantial collector attendance because of its proximity to adjoining fairs which collectively
annually draw more than 50,000 attendees.
As photography becomes an increasingly important segment of today’s contemporary art market, Focus Miami – The Photo Fair creates a hub and destination for both
new and experienced photography collectors. It is a fair focused solely on photography – which gives serious photography collectors an even greater reason to
visit Miami in December.
As a specialty fair, its exhibitors’ exhibitions will not be in a visually competitive environment with other contemporary art forms.
A full schedule of photography related lectures and events will be a major component of the event. Curators from major museums will be invited as guests of the fair.
Organized by experienced organizers David and Lee Ann Lester and the IFAE staff, exhibitors may be assured of a gracious and welcoming
environment coupled with outstanding South Florida marketing of the new event.
