The sights, sounds, and spectacle of Miami Art Week were alive and well at Spectrum Miami and Red Dot Miami. We knew the five-day art experience—rife with exciting events, live performances, late-night parties, and more—was a success when we hit last year’s numbers by the end of the day Friday. The shows reported combined multimillion-dollar exhibitor sales and record-breaking attendance with more than 50,000 attendees throughout the week and more than 6,500 guests for the Opening Night Preview Party.

A huge thank you to this year’s exhibitors, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees. We couldn’t have made the show happen without you! Want to take a look back? Read the recaps to check out highlights, award winners, and top sales from the weekend.

Parting Impressions

This year's show was a huge success, drawing tens of thousands of attendees, showcasing thousands of artists, and resulting in millions of dollars in sales. Here is a sampling of some of our exhibitors’ top sales and glowing reviews:

Spotlight Gallery Contemporary Art Projects USA placed multiple pieces, including Amor a Dios by Daniel Marin for $10,000; Kinetic by Hugo Diaz for $10,000; and El Juego de la Frida by Ricardo Cardenas for $10,000, among others. "Red Dot 2017 was one of the most successful art fairs that we have ever participated in with sales over $60,000 due to national and international collectors attending the fair," says Tata Fernandez of Contemporary Art Projects USA. "Thank you for including me."

Gebhardt Gallery & Studio placed three pieces, including No Obligation by Kris Gebhardt for $19,500. "Being able to meet and talk with the artist is really going be valuable in future," Kris Gebhardt says. "It’s an advantage that Spectrum and Red Dot have over many of the shows. Many people commented they like Spectrum better than Basel and felt the energy of Spectrum was more inviting and fun. In fact, one of the collectors who bought one of my pieces had purchased a piece at Art Basel the day before. He said he liked Spectrum much better because of being able to talk and meet the artists. I really believe you get lot more energy when artists are representing their work."

Collector Steven Bennett says he's already looking forward to attending the shows in the future. Visit our testimonials pages to read more.
