Art Basel Season Lineup Announced at the Frost

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University, the Smithsonian Affiliate in Miami, announces a stellar lineup of new exhibitions, lectures and events for the 2016/2017 season.

During Miami's Art Basel week, the museum will premiere a series of prominent firsts, including three never-before-seen exhibitions originating in Miami at the Frost: Narciso Rodriguez: An Exercise in Minimalism (Oct. 16 - Jan. 8); Pierce, Mark, Morph (Oct. 22 - Feb. 12); and Drawing Line into Form: Works on Paper by Sculptors from the Collection of BNY Mellon (Oct. 22 - Jan. 15).

Topping the marquee for the new year, the museum presents the Florida debut of Marking the Infinite: Contemporary Women Artists from Aboriginal Australia, works from the Collection of Debra and Dennis Scholl(Jan. 28 - May 7).

Lectures and events include special guest Laurie Anderson for the Stephen and Dorothea Green Critics' Lecture Series (on November 6); and the 13th annual Art Basel event Breakfast in the Park featuring sculptor Judy Pfaff (on the Sunday of Miami's Art Basel week, December 4).

"As audiences from all over the world converge upon Miami for Art Basel season, the new lineup of exhibitions and events at the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University is a reflection of our interest in art globally: from New York to South America to Australia. This new season also marks our expanded curatorial perspective, with the inclusion of fashion now as a further expression of creativity," said Dr. Jordana Pomeroy, the museum's Director.
