UNTITLED founder Jeff Lawson said that artists and gallerists are optimistic for this year’s fair. “While the market in general has been down over the last year, we’re seeing it starting to pick up,” he said. He’s so optimistic, in fact, that he has announced the 2025 launch of an additional UNTITLED fair in Houston.
As for UNTITLED Miami, which launched in 2012, “There is a collector base continuing to build here as the city grows,” he said. This year’s Miami attendees will find works reflecting the theme “East Meets West,” which will challenge conventional perceptions with curatorial direction by Kathy Huang, managing director of Jeffrey Deitch in New York, and Jungmin Cho, founder of the Seoul art space WHITE NOISE.
