Art dealer and curator Jeffrey Deitch is gearing up for Miami Art Week.
Deitch and Gagosian gallery are teaming up for a show at the historic Moore Building called “Pop Minimalism | Minimalist Pop,” opening Dec. 4.
“It’s a big commitment for us,” Deitch told us, noting that the exhibition will feature works by “great artists of the 1960s generation right up to the present,” including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Donald Judd and Dan Flavin.
There will also be a charity auction for Bono’s (Red) brand at the building in the Design District, as curated by architect David Adjaye and contemporary artist Theaster Gates. Deitch tells us he is also looking forward to seeing a Judy Chicago exhibit, “A Reckoning,” at Miami’s Institute of Contemporary Art, and he’ll hold a public talk with Chicago on Dec. 8 as part of Art Basel’s Conversations program.
Other top Deitch tips during the Miami art fairs include checking out exhibitions at the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, the Rubell Family Collection, an Ebony G. Patterson show at the Pérez Art Museum, and the Haas Brothers’ work “Ferngully” at the Bass Museum.
“They really invented something completely new, which is a fusion of sculpture and design that is very practical and also a lot of fun to experience,” Deitch mused.
