Art Miami 2023

In December 2023, at the heart of Miami Art Week, Zeit Contemporary Art's booth at Art Miami brought together modern, postwar, and contemporary works by Georg Baselitz, Amoako Boafo, Eduardo Chillida, Sonia Delaunay, Ellsworth Kelly, Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol. Painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking shared the space, organized around a dialogue on the drawn figure and a wall devoted to the afterlives of Pop.

At the center of the booth stood an exceptional 1922 drawing by Picasso from his neoclassical period, installed with particular prominence. It anchored the presentation's meditation on structure, clarity, and historical memory. Four drawings by Georg Baselitz extended the dialogue: their expressive, fractured treatment of the body brought postwar intensity into conversation with Picasso's reinvention of classical form, tracing an arc from modern figuration to the psychological force of late-twentieth-century drawing.

A second wall gathered Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Yayoi Kusama, and Amoako Boafo, artists who turned popular imagery, repetition, and portraiture into distinct visual languages of their own. Warhol treated Pop as a field of glamour and desire. Koons extended mass culture into spectacle. Kusama's pumpkin condensed pattern into a compact emblem, and Boafo's portraiture offered a contemporary reflection on Black subjectivity and presence. Works by Delaunay, Kelly, LeWitt, Mangold, and Chillida rounded out the wall, extending the booth's survey of artists who have redefined abstraction and figuration across generations.
