Christo (born Christo Vladmirov Javacheff) and his wife and artistic collaborator Jeanne-Claude made an inestimable impact on the history of art since the mid-20th century. Together, they created large-scale, ephemeral, public art projects, involving dramatic interventions in carefully selected outdoor locations. With a career that spans nearly six decades, their work has helped to expand the definition of art beyond paintings and sculptures, envisioning instead a radically democratic art form capable of speaking directly to broad audiences across a full spectrum of society in public space.

This exhibition presents stellar works gifted to PAMM by Christo’s longtime friends Maria Bechily and Scott Hodes. These are fine examples of Christo’s drawing practice, which constitutes a pivotal aspect of his production. Christo and Jeanne-Claude declined all financial support from governments, institutions, single patrons, and foundations, choosing to fund their massive projects through the direct sales of drawings such as these. These works memorialize the projects and represent an alternative to the traditional funding structures for art. Collectively, the drawings exemplify an expansive overview of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s oeuvre, comprising their major projects spanning from the late 1960s to the early 2000s.

Pérez Art Museum Miami Announces New Acquisitions by Thirteen Artists for Permanent Collection

 

PAMM's Collection Expands with Artworks by Hélio Oiticica, Bisa Butler, Tania Bruguera, Coco Fusco, Karon Davis, Sonia Gomes, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, and More

(MIAMI, FL — August 17, 2021) — Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) is pleased to announce significant acquisitions of works by diverse artists for the museum's permanent collection, including artists of Cuban and Brazilian origin as well as eleven women artists. Several of the artists are entering the museum's collection for the first time, including Karon Davis, Kenturah Davis, Bisa Butler, and Christine Sun Kim. Among the new acquisitions are Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica's Penetrável Macaléia (Malaceia Penetrable) from 1978—purchased with funds from Jorge M. Pérez—a walk-in installation inspired by the favela communities of Rio de Janeiro; Coco Fusco's The Undiscovered Amerindians Tour, a series of photographs purchased by PAMM's International Women's Committee Endowment; and Karon Davis' Bobby Seale and The People's Free Food Program, a major installation purchased with funds from PAMM's Collectors Council and various patrons that features a life-size sculpture of Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party.  "The collection is not only a reflection of who we are but who we aspire to be. In addition to the Oiticica, which is truly a masterwork of experiential and conceptual art, we added two more Brazilian artists, in Leda Catunda and Sonia Gomes, whose work is currently on view in Allied with Power: African and African Diaspora Art from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection," said PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans. "Tania Bruguera, like Oiticica, is vitally important to our collection's focal points, and this particular piece is one of the artist-activist's most documented and well known examples of her sculptural and performative artworks. We are fortunate to have resources and patrons who are engaged with the growth of the collection in a way that furthers our view of art as a catalyst for meaningful conversations in society."  The new acquisitions underscore PAMM's longstanding commitment to highlighting underrepresented artists from the U.S. Latinx experience, the African diaspora, Latin America and the Caribbean. These thirteen works also exemplify the museum's dedication to displaying a collection in constant dialogue with the most pressing issues of the present. Works purchased by PAMM's Collector Council: Bisa Butler's Black is King, a newly created portrait from a series inspired by contemporary individuals shaping the discourse of race around the world. Karon Davis' Bobby Seale and The People's Free Food Program, a major installation of plaster sculptures from Davis' recent exhibition at Jeffrey Deitch in New York City that examined the life of Bobby Seale. The figure of Seale is surrounded by sculpted grocery bags of food, representing the Black Panther Party's initiatives to combat food insecurity in the 1970s. Works purchased by PAMM's International Women's Committee Endowment: Coco Fusco's The Undiscovered Amerindians Tour, a series of photographs documenting a satirical performance by Fusco and Guillermo Gomez-Pena  from 1992-94 commenting on the quincentennial anniversary of Christopher Columbus' "discovery."  Kenturah Davis' Black As the Most Exquisite Color, a large portrait of a young woman consisting of the repeated phrase "black as the most exquisite color" rendered in rubber stamped lettering. Gifts and museum purchases: Liset Castillo's large-scale photographic print Pain Is Universal but So Is Hope, which depicts a fictional city made up of diverse cultural, historical, and geographic symbols.   Sonia Gomes' Untitled from the series Torções (Twists), a textile work made by knotting and twisting pieces of fabric that deals with decolonizing the past and reclaiming the present.  Leda Catunda's Dedinhos (Little Fingers), a multilayered composition of finger-like shapes with nails painted in gold acrylic. Tania Bruguera's 1994 installation Tabla de salvación (Table of Salvation), which commemorates  the untold numbers of people who lost their lives in the Florida Straits during the Cuban raft exodus of the mid 1990s. Hélio Oiticica's Penetrável Macaléia (Malaceia Penetrable), a walk-in installation that immerses the viewer/participant in color while evoking and celebrating the favela communities of Rio de Janeiro. Christine Sun Kim's Close Readings, a satirical video work in which the artist invited deaf collaborators to create new captions for five different films.  Thania Petersen's Of Birds and Trees and Flowers and Bees, a tapestry that takes the form of a Muslim prayer mat, which comprises the most intimate space of the Islamic faith.  Montserrat-born Veronica Ryan's Bundle 1, a handcrafted sculpture made of paper and crochet that engages the artist's Afro-Caribbean heritage. Nathaniel Mary Quinn's The Worry, a striking collage portrait using a combination of materials including charcoal, gouache, pastel, oil stick, and oil paint on paper.  ABOUT PAMM Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), led by Director Franklin Sirmans, promotes artistic expression and the exchange of ideas, advancing public knowledge and appreciation of art, architecture, and design, and reflecting the diverse community of its pivotal geographic location at the crossroads of the Americas.

Pérez Art Museum Miami Collaborates with Food For The Poor on St. Vincent Volcano Relief Efforts

 

PAMM Accepting Donations and Supplies  April 22–25, 2021

Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), in collaboration with Food For The Poor, will be collecting urgently needed supplies for those affected by the St. Vincent volcano La Soufrière, which spewed ash and hot gas early Tuesday in the latest eruption since volcanic activity began late last week. PAMM will offer up to two free passes for admission in exchange for donations received April 22–25, 2021, during regular museum hours. Items that will be accepted include: personal hygiene products such as toothpaste, deodorant and soap, cleaning supplies such as brooms, mops, buckets and shovels, baby supplies including diapers and wipes, sleeping cots or mats, pressure washers, respirator masks with filters, goggles and reflective vests. Items can be dropped off at PAMM for free admission or at Food For the Poor's Coconut Creek warehouse, 6401 Lyons Road, from 9am–4pm weekdays. Masks and social distancing are required. Because of the eruptions, St. Vincent residents are in a quickly mounting humanitarian crisis—many have been displaced and left without clean water or electricity. La Soufrière's eruption has forced approximately 30 villages on the northern portion of the island to evacuate, and the World Health Organization and The Pan American Health Organization estimate that 16,000 to 20,000 people have been affected.  This is the most recent collaboration between PAMM and Food For the Poor, who partnered in 2019 to collect donations for those affected by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas.

ABOUT FOOD FOR THE POOR Food For The Poor, one of the largest international relief and development organizations in the nation, does much more than feed millions of the hungry poor primarily in 17 countries of the Caribbean and Latin America.

The title of the exhibition emphasizes the artists' impassioned commitment to their diverse practices and confirms the inclusive theme of the show which features artworks selected from 60 gifted by Bailey to PAMM since 2016.

Several highlights underscore the diversity and quality of the artworks: two house paint on roofing tin works by Sam Doyle, whose work was collected by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Our Father, a painting that considers religion and race and Ford, a poignant tribute to one of Doyle's teachers; three large-scale constructions, incorporating cast off wood and masonite, by Purvis Young, anchored by a vibrant tribute to the Miami Dolphins, add depth to PAMM's holdings of his art; an early 1940s abstract floral on paper by Minnie Evans; a painted wood bas-relief by Herbert Singleton that reclaims an old oak door; the carved and painted wood figures, Devil Family, by Sulton Rogers; a hard-hitting, admonishment, Stop, by Roy Ferdinand, illustrating the toll taken by gun violence; a mixed media work by Sister Gertrude Morgan created in 1970 on the frontispiece of the book God's Greatest Hits; an exemplary oil on canvas by the renowned Clementine Hunter, painted when she was in her nineties; and Jane Winkleman's 2007 cautionary Disaster Ahead which addresses climate change.
