Pulse Miami 2012 Dec 4-9 at the Ice Palace Studios in Miami is a definite must see. Since it’s inception 8 years ago, this art fair has established itself as one of the leaders in the international contemporary art scene.
“As one of the longstanding art fairs in Miami and New York to host local and international exhibitors, PULSE is
oftentimes a barometer of the global art market. This year, PULSE Miami will feature a greater number of
international galleries than that of other satellite fairs. Weʼve noticed a particularly growing presence of European
galleries that are relying on a strong US market to sustain sales,” comments Cornell DeWitt, Director.
“Headquartered in New York City, we also hope to provide a resurgence for our vital New York galleries suffering
from the aftermath of recent Hurricane Sandy.”
