Khrystyne Wilson: Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000205 EndHTML:0000007127 StartFragment:0000002399 EndFragment:0000007091 SourceURL:[file://localhost/Users/khrystynewilson/Documents/Winter%20Course%20Response%201-5-12.doc The Art Basel Exhibition at the Miami Beach Convention Center is an exhibition that focuses on introducing new artwork from both well known, and up and coming artists. The Exhibition focuses on Black and Latin American contemporary art, helping to introduce new artists to the contemporary art scene, as well as promote Black and Latin American artists, buyers, and curators within the art sector. I am focusing within the sector of Art Nova which is described by the Art Basel Exhibition as: "designed for galleries representing two to three of their artists with new works, meaning that they have been created during the last two years - and are often even fresh from the studio." Within this section, I have decided to focus on the Carl Freedman Gallery, and in specific the Latino artist Armando Andrade Tudela. Because the Gallery is located in London, the artists within the gallery, along with the curator will benefit by exhibiting pieces at the Art Basel Exhibition in Miami. The exhibition of the Peruvian artist, Armando Andrade Tudela will garner support for the gallery within the heavy Latino population in Miami. His focus on the country of Peru, as well as the history of Cocaine in Latin American countries will resonate strongly with the Latin population in Miami, thus positively introducing both the artist Armando Andrade Tudela, and the Carl Freedman Gallery. The Exhibition in Miami provides a very good place for Armando Andrade Tudela to promote his own work. As I stated previously, the heavy Latino population that inhabits Miami, and that consistently visits the Art Basel Exhibition will connect with the artist, based on their similar cultures. Thus Armando Andrade Tudela will be able to expand his following to the United States and further his global following, which will now be seen, at the very least, in Peru, Great Britain and the US. The curator will also benefit from this increase in popularity and sales, because he/she will then be able to open the door to the US market for his other artists, while consistently selling Tudela's artwork. I believe the Art Basel Exhibition in Miami is a good example of how to introduce people who are outside the Art Market, into it, thus creating more revenue for the market in general, while increasing the supply of talented, but under represented artists, such as those from Latino or Black communities. Although I think it's important for the Art Basel Exhibition to maintain it's allure through being distinct in what it offers to the art market, I think it could be beneficial to create additional exhibitions like it, that may service artists outside of contemporary art, and artists from other minorities for example Asian artists.
