TOWN Residential, New York's leading luxury real estate services firm, is proud to announce its participation in Art Basel Miami Beach. Since the firm’s inception, TOWN has held a significant presence at the world’s premier modern and contemporary art fair, each year attending a series of special VIP events alongside world-renowned celebrities and high-profile clients.
As in years’ past, the 2016 fair will showcase a diverse collection of curated art, film and video of the world’s leading art galleries. Outside the galleries, TOWN Residential is honored to attend an exclusive array of VIP events, including a sneak peak of the Hyde Beach Resort and Residences Art Collection featuring works by Elizabet Cerviño, Rafael Domenech, and Douglas Hoekzema (HOZZOH); an exclusive conversation with Susana Maritnez Vidal, author of Frida Kahlo Fashion as the Art of Being; as well as an exclusive preview of 3900 Alton, Master Architect Ricardo Bofill's American condominium debut; and more.
"We have always recognized the direct parallels between artists, collectors of art, and real estate," said Andrew Heiberger, CEO of TOWN Residential and proud attendee of Art Basel Miami Beach. "When it comes down to it, art could not survive without luxury real estate. Every art collector needs the proper lighting, wall space and property to display their collections. Not to mention, Representatives often find themselves competing directly with art dealers to prove that their property is a safer and more tangible investment than a piece of luxury artwork."
TOWN has had a robust presence at Art Basel Miami Beach in recent years as well. Last year, the firm kicked off the week by hosting a cocktail party and formal seated dinner at The Villa Casa Casuarina with special guests including international superstar Lionel Richie, and enjoyed exclusive tours hosted by strategic partner Fortune International of the exciting properties that are redefining the city’s skyline. The year prior, guests of TOWN enjoyed a bespoke art tour featuring a private viewing of the Rubell Family and de la Cruz collections and a private tour of the Art Basel Fair at the convention center. Star-studded events throughout the years have also included the One Way: Peter Marino opening reception at The Bass Museum of Art; Haute Living Art Basel Kick Off at the SLS Hotel; Jason Binn and DuJour’s world renowned photo exhibition Timeless Portofino with guests of honor Emily Blunt, Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima; Miley Cyrus at The Raleigh Hotel hosted by Jeffrey Deitch, Tommy Hilfiger and V Magazine.
TOWN takes immense pride in its ongoing presence at Art Basel Miami Beach. Since TOWN’s inception, art has played a prominent role within the offices and culture. The firm has previously worked closely with extraordinary artists and historically celebrated photographers to adorn the offices with unrivaled creativity. Through sponsorship and direct engagement, TOWN Residential has also supported prominent art festivals including Frieze New York, Collective Design Fair, and Armory Week.
“Art Basel Miami is not only the world’s leading art fair, it has become a showcase for the world’s most luxurious brands representing fashion, entertainment, yachting, real estate, hospitality and more,” shared Heiberger. “The week attracts art enthusiasts and aficionados alike with many of our clients and customers in attendance.”
"TOWN has always been at the forefront of luxury brand collaborations," added Heiberger. "We will continue to expend our vast resources on these cross-branding opportunities in the upcoming year, especially those linked to a charity or cause. These key collaborations both effective and necessary in our mission to remain a top brand in the luxury real estate market and beyond."
TOWN Residential looks forward to the rest of Art Basel Miami Beach 2016, as well as to maintaining a strong attendance at the world-renowned art fair in the future.
