Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary Art Returns For Its Sixth Edition

Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary presented by Art Miami returns this weekend for its sixth edition! Showcased at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, PB+C yet again brings world-class, investment- quality works from the 20^th and 21^st century to town. This strong roster of internationally respected galleries from Austria, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Columbia, Venezuela and the United States is offering one of the most culturally savvy and discerning collecting audiences in the world.

Thursday, March 23 the fair will open invitation-only with a VIP preview benefitting the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens with a presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to Palm Beach’s Frances Fisher – a renowned philanthropist and advocate for the arts.

For the past 25 years, Frances Fisher has been dedicated to the growth of the Palm Beach community, and keeping Palm Beach’s connection to the arts alive. Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens will once again serve as a satellite venue for the fair and in celebration of Women’s History Month, Long-Sharp Gallery presents sculptHER, an innovative exhibit featuring works by four female sculptors: Julia Ibbini, Nicole Pietrantoni, Cha Jong Rye, and Miriam Londoño.

“We are delighted to once again welcome the art world to Palm Beach,” shares Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary Director Nick Korniloff. “With every passing year, the fair’s reach evolves as the lens of collectors, celebrities and art world luminaries focus on Palm Beach and West Palm Beach. The fair’s impact continues to expand and flourish as we enter what is guaranteed to be a monumental sixth edition.”
