PINTA MIAMI LIVE – PHOTO AND EDITION
In this fourteenth special edition of Pinta Miami, the largest art fair specialized in Latin America art in the United States adds two new sections to its program: Photo and Edition. With the relevance that photography has been gaining within the international art scene and with the importance that graphic arts have had for the transition from modern to contemporary art, both sections have been designed to represent a broader perspective of Latinamerican artistic production and its value in the evolution of artistic language.
Constituted by seven galleries from four different Iberoamerican countries -Blanca Berlin (Spain), Troconi Letayf & Campbell (Mexico), Norah Haime Gallery (USA), ArtexArte-Fundación Alfonso y Luz Castillo (Argentina), (+)GALLERyLABS (USA), Rolf Art (Argentina) and Vasari (Argentina)-, Pinta Photo emerges as a space for the visibility of galleries specialized in the field of photography. The artists invited by these galleries range from fundamental authors of the beginning of the century, such as Anatole Saderman, Annemarie Heinrich or Juan Di Sandro, to artists who explore the limits of photography, such as Marcelo Brodsky, Ruby Rumié, Marcos López or Graciela Iturbide. In this way, the section aims to illustrate the evolution of the photographic device as an expressive medium and the diversity of supports and languages that in such a short time have positioned it as an inexhaustible source of representation for many artists.

As for Edition, the galleries ArtNexus/ Arte en Colombia (USA), Galería Sextante/ Taller Arte Dos Gráfico (Colombia) and Multiplo Espaço Arte (Brazil), have been invited to open this section oriented to the commercialization of graphic pieces. Works by artists such as Carlos Cruz Diez, León Ferrari, Chraley Friedman and Jorge Riveros, among many others, comprise the exhibition tour of Pinta Edition. The main reason why these works have been included in graphic format to the fair is the conviction that there are no barriers to artistic exploration and that it is the multiplicity and transversality of disciplines that renews and nourishes the artistic ecosystem in general.

Presenting these two new sections shows growth on behalf of Pinta Miami. In a context that has pushed them to redesign and rethink the fair to find a digital and safe format for the commercialization of artworks, adding to the program the production of artists working on more experimental and innovative territories is not accidental.
What we can be sure of is that these sections have come to stay, to take the place they deserve as lateral languages of the fine arts and to bring to the art market a fundamental language of the creative ecosystem.
