In-N-Out Art Basel Miami Beach Dec. 2010 (Part I):
“Art Basel Miami Beach is still three months away, but Art Market Views has analyzed the exhibitor roster and we present this year’s In-N-Out list. (Exhibitor list may be found here).
Overall, 56 exhibitors from 2009 are not returning for this winter’s pageant. This is down slightly from the 60 exhibitors who dropped from the rolls a year ago.
Applications were up 20 percent, according to fair co-head Marc Spiegler, who said the show received over 700 applications.
The 2010 edition includes 270 exhibitors, with a super-sized Galleries section for the most established merchants, comprised of 206 exhibitors, up from 186 in 2009.
Twenty-three Galleries exhibitors from 2009 are MIA in 2010-some weren’t admitted, some chose to not reapply. The fair, not surprisingly, doesn’t disclose this info.
Absentees include Deitch Projects and The Project (both shuttered), plus Jablonka, Sonnabend, Daniel Templon, Perry Rubenstein, Helga de Alvear, Eigen, Krugier and others.
New exhibitors ascending the Galleries section include New York’s Leslie Feely, San Francisco’s Hackett Mill and NYC’s Nyehaus.
A cluster of younger UK and European galleries who went AWOL during the financial crunch have returned, including Mary Mary, Galerie Kamm, Herald St. and Hotel-all showing in the Nova section (for new work from 2-3 artists).
The Positions section has been re-jiggered. What began in beach-side metal shipping containers, was last year moved to a prime location in the center of the convention hall, sparking consternation among Nova exhibitors who paid more for their booths relegated to peripheral real estate. UPDATE: Nova has been moved to a better location, near one of the entrances. Positions will be sited in the northeast corner, according to fair officials.
New this year: Positions exhibitors are only permitted to present a single project by one artist. At a time when dealers are reluctant to fund production, this appears to have succeeded in making the section populous. Positions features 14 exhibitors this year, down from 23 last year.
The ‘IN’ list tomorrow!
