Lino Tagliapietra, "Fenice"
: 
by BLOUIN ARTINFO
Published: January 25, 2013
Kelly Reemtsen, "Clean Cut," 2012

Art Palm Beach is not Frieze or the Armory. You won't find difficult conceptual work, ultra-minimalist sculpture, or Kanye West. What you will discover, though, is art that is unabashedly brash, humorous, and lively, plus a wealth of photography, and — perhaps due to this year’s Visionary Award going to Lino Tagliapietra — a wealth of luxurious glass pieces. The prevailing taste in Florida tends toward the eye-catching and the irreverent. Our ARTINFO team rounded up a few of the highlights on view at this year's edition. Here are our picks for best in fair (to see all of our picks from Art Palm Beach, click on the slideshow):

1) Painter Kelly Reemtsen’s lushly painted domestic revenge fantasy. It was $11,500 at the stand of New York’s Debuck Gallery.

 

2) The legendary Louise Nevelson’s “City-Space-Scape V” (1968), a decidedly iconic piece sprinkled in among the upstarts and emerging artists who dominate Art Palm Beach.

3) Glass is everywhere at this year's fair, but one of the more colorful examples — Sidney Hutter’s “Two Views of Rainbow Dot SVF #223” (2008) — stands out. It’s $24,000 at Mayer Fine Art of Norfolk, Virginia.

4) Dusty Boynton’s faux-naive and imminently lovable “Whirl” (2012), from Denise Bibro Fine Art of NYC, is a winner.

5) A sexy series of photos from 1959 and ‘60 by Bunny Yeager, also at Denise Bibro.

6) A startling necklace from Rachel Dugger of Miami. The artist crafts her pieces out if unconventional materials, in this case orange coral.

7) J.B. Berkow’s “Sunrise I,” a multi-paneled painting that falls on just the right side of kitsch and manages to be impressively stirring. It was $150,000 from RosettaStone Fine Art of Jupiter, Florida.

8) Johan Barrios’s “I'm A Real Artist” (2011) reimagines Facebook pics as photorealist painting. Fernando Luis Alvarez Gallery of Stamford, Connecticut brought these gems.

9) A work from Florence Putterman’s 2009 “Garden of Eden” series was $7,000 at Walter Wickiser Gallery of NYC. The artist crushes shells into her pigment to paint these surreal, textured scenes.

10) “Luna di Agosto” (2011), a glass work by Lino Tagliapietra, recipient of the fair’s 2013 Visionary Award. The impressive piece was on view at Schantz Galleries of Stockbridge, Massachusetts for $250,000.

11) A pair of flamboyant paintings by Sergey Grinevich, which seemed inspired by the aesthetic of militant pop star MIA. They were $13,500 and $16,000, respectively, at Gallery Shchukin of Paris and Moscow.

12) A 1975 Robert Motherwell aquatint and linocut of a cigarette wrapper, from an edition of 6. It’s $6,500 at Woolff Gallery of London (which is also exhibiting work by William Wegman and, Annie Liebovitz).

13) “Dragon Colt” (2012), a resin-based chair by Simon Ma Designs of Shanghai. Because, after all, no apartment is complete without a piece of furniture inspired by a fictional animal hybrid.
