As represented by Galerie Gmurzynska, the B02 booth in Art Basel Miami Beach highlights the importance of modern art for today’s audience. As stated, “Very few newly created works endure or leave an indelible imprint on popular culture unless at birth they draw passionate juxtaposing critical responses.” The exhibition will be a ‘rich curatorial stepping stone’, particularly for today’s art scene in the art fair occurring early December.
