Saturday, February 1st from 6 – 9pm art lovers and aficionados are cordially invited to experience the Opening Reception of Purvis Young: A Visionary of Miami’s Cultural Identity at Pan American Art Projects, a solo exhibition of the celebrated artist Purvis Young. This show pays homage to the extraordinary legacy of Purvis Young, an artist whose work has indelibly shaped the history of Miami’s art scene. The selection by curator Claudia Taboada features rarely seen works from the collection of Martin Siskind, a close friend and long-time supporter of the artist. The exhibition is on view February 1 – March 22, 2025.
From his earliest years, with his Goodbread Alley street display of hundreds of small paintings, it was Young’s ambition to share his work with as many people as possible. His images cry out to be savored by a large audience, not locked up in storage. (…) Visitors to this exhibition will be beguiled by images that look as fresh as the day they were painted. They remain forever Young. -Dr. Adrianne Von Lates
