Inaugural Art Southampton Proving Big Draw for Young Collectors
Scores of Young Contemporaries to Attend Special Events at Art Southampton Pavilion
The Inaugural Edition of Art Southampton presented by Art Miami July 26-30 is proving to be catnip for savvy young collectors and groups from up and down the East Coast. Many of the individuals and groups are very familiar with the Art Miami style of presentation and are eagerly looking forward to the fair. But there is also great excitement among first-timers, many of whom are too busy on Wall Street to fly down to Miami mid-winter and relish the idea of a world class art fair where they summer.
