Well that was a whirlwind. Stick Together Gallery grounded itself on South Beach for the Art Basel Miami Week 2017 within the dapper, art deco deluxe setting of Aqua Art Miami. Max Zorn was the solo showcase, premiering an entire exhibition of new work ranging from cigar box wonders to large unique collector’s items.

And sold out by Saturday. Works were selling before we could put them out. They were selling before they were even complete. They were selling even when they were already sold!? A huge thanks to an incredible vision set out by director Katelijne de Backer, (Art New York & Aqua Art Miami), an on-point exhibitor team, and an enthusiastic crowd of fans, first-time buyers and new and old collectors. Amazing help from our photographer and gallery staff Zach Clark, thanks again for bringing the coffees when we couldn’t leave the floor. And well done Max — those secret naps in “the office” really paid off.

Stick Together in Cologne for a fall Blooom

2016/10/31 / wp_admin / Comments Off

Max Zorn, Blooom Art Fair, Stick Together Gallery The second time around at Cologne’s Art.Fair partner Blooom felt like home for Stick Together. Surrounded by familiar faces of artists and gallerists, Blooom was a well-curated mix of work impossible to ignore. Stick Together fused Max Zorn walls with a collection of prints by Shepard Fairey, Daniel Doebner, PLEASANT, Steve Locatelli, Eelco van den Berg, and Super A. The booth kept busy, with surrounding works by Fin DAC, Innerfields, Eliot The Super, Miss Van and more. Cologne has been a great experience, and the times spent with friends like GO Gallery exploring the city were fantastic. We found out that some tape adhesives have traces of dynamite in the glue — hence the security dog sniffing around. (And no, Max Zorn tape art does not explode like a wall bomb). Art.Fair moves to a new market in Dusseldorf next year November, let’s see what Stick Together can do to make a memorable entrance!

Selling big at Frieze London with Moniker Art Fair

2016/10/12 / wp_admin / Comments Off

Stick Together showed its gallery side at Frieze London this fall within the Old Truman Brewery walls adorned by the creative curating from the seventh annual Moniker Art Fair. It was a packed weekend as we exhibited three of the most talented artists using tape as their medium: NO CURVES (IT), Benjamin Murphy (UK) and Max Zorn (NL). All artists sold to the thousands who visited, and Stick Together couldn’t be more impressed with the Moniker team putting on a great exhibit. Some of the highlights included live screenprinting and signing by Toasters, Josh Stika and Word To Mother at the Jealous Gallery next door. We loved the wall installation by Master Art, not to mention the daily glass of champagne for a pick-me-up when our levels needed an extra energy kick. We ran into good friends like London-based street artist Otto Schade, the owner of street art foundation Urban Art Now, and made new friends, clients and fans within the concrete jungle of London. Amazing time, see you next year!

The Stick Together Gallery booth boasted top names in artists who use tape as their medium: NO CURVES (IT) fusion of assorted colors and textures added stark contrast to Benjamin Murphy (UK) and his delicate use of black electrical tape. Max Zorn (NL) illuminated the walls with his use of light and sepia-tones and drew a crowd during his live work-in-progress presentation.

Opening night at Moniker Art Fair 2016 was buzzing within the walls of the Old Truman Brewery. London showed up by the thousands that weekend, and us here at Stick Together felt at home surrounded by some of the freshest contemporary and urban art around.

Getting Swiss with Art International Zurich

2016/10/01 / wp_admin / Comments Off

As an emerging gallery it’s important to test new markets, and a lot of curiosity lands on Switzerland. It has Art Basel, a thriving banking sector, the world’s finest watches and precious jewelry… and chocolate.

With the third highest per capita GDP in the world, Stick Together finally made an appearance at Art International Zurich and premiered Max Zorn for his first Swiss show alongside the Zurich Film Festival. It was the first stop on a triad tour of art shows, and us here at Stick Together couldn’t have started less classy.

We found the Swiss to be quite curious about Max Zorn’s technique and use of light illuminating his medium. Many we’re impressed with the fact that these works are made freehand without any photo or sketch to start from.

Stick Together sells out entire Max Zorn booth in Singapore

2016/04/15 / wp_admin / Comments Off

FAIRS:Stick Together arrived in Singapore for the Affordable Art Fair spring edition at the Formula One Pit Building in downtown Singapore. We brought a full show of Max Zorn’s latest work, including Max Zorn himself, who created live and was interviewed by BBC and Channel News Asia. Attendees were curious and enthusiastic, and sales were huge.

Congrats to Max Zorn and his sold-out exhibition. Things never got boring in our booth, and the crowds never stopped showing up, asking questions, and admiring work. It was am honor to meet so many new faces, new cultures, and brilliant new clients. The fair had a flawless staff who showed a beautiful balance between professionalism, casual and class.

It was Stick Together’s first time showing in Singapore, working with some of the best art fair staff we’ve encounter. Founded by Will Ramsay (founder of PULSE) the Affordable Art Fair was organized as an alternative to the traditional gallery scene, with a price ceiling of £5,000/€6,000/$10,000 for 75% of exhibited work. From Stick Together’s personal experience, exhibiting in Hong Kong 2015 brought over 30,000 pairs of eyeballs, and 2016’s experience in Singapore showed us that Asia is ready to buy art. Our first-hand experience has shown us that both collectors and newcomers buzz around, and turnouts have been massive for this global art fair franchise. Art at an art fair is never “cheap”, and “affordability” is in the eye of its beholder, but these guys are on to something. We’re so thankful to be a part of it.

(View from the booth at the Formula 1 building. Now imagine 18 Ferraris flying by. We did.)

Best New Exhibitor, Art Basel Miami weekend wrap up

Stick Together and Max Zorn at Spectrum Art Basel Miami

Award-winning booth at Spectrum Art Fair for Art Basel Miami weekend 2015.

FAIRS: Ask anyone in the industry and they’ll say Art Basel Miami is beautiful, but bananas… a weekend of sleek, shiny, dressed to the 9s Warhol style bananas. The exhibitors, artists, collectors, fair directors, the street artists in Wynwood, the Miami beach hotels, the bars and clubs throughout – it’s about being something everyone is talking about, it’s visual overkill in the most wonderful way, and it’s inspiration, exposure, hand-shaking havoc and artfully adventurous. We at Stick Together just love it.

It’s a positive problem to work with an artist in high enough demand suffering the beauty of always being sold out (Max Zorn is sold out, honestly, all the time). But wow were we thankful to show up fashionably late to Miami with a new collection of Max Zorn in tow. Stick Together rocked and rattled the Miami mainland this year at Spectrum Art Fair with a nearly sold-out booth and accolades aplenty. The booth looked leaner than last year’s break-out Breeder booth at SCOPE (thanks again for the write up Widewalls.ch), and Stick Together won the fair’s Best New Exhibitor award for it.

“Ivory Sky” was featured in the Wall Street Journal as a full-page SPECTRUM Art Fair ad for Art Basel Miami weekend. Brown, red and white packing tape on acrylic glass illuminated with LED custom lightbox. ArtistL Max Zorn. Year: 2015. SOLD

Plus, Max flexed his brain muscle to fill up the booth with fresh work during an already-packed fall of exhibiting and selling, and won Best Artist at the fair for it. And thanks again to Widewalls.ch for ranking Stick Together in the top 10 booths to see at Spectrum out of over 100+.

And to top it off, Spectrum Art air used Max Zorn’s artist “Ivory Sky” as a full-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal to promote their fair. (And in Stick Together’s opinion, this shows that Max Zorn’s talent and skill at detail and motif can outshine his material of tape on an international audience level…but we knew that already, Max.)

Stick Together left speechless, again. It wasn’t long ago we were hoisting a DIY exhibition at Wood Tavern and taking sales calls from partygoers at 2am inspired to buy in a late-night gotta-have-it haze in 2013. We tested the waters at SCOPE in 2014, selling to celebrity clients and getting flown to New York for further collector collaborations. And wow, Spectrum Art Fair 2015, you exceeded our expectations on all levels. We will never forget the flurry of buyers, media attention and positive atmosphere. It was an honor to work with you.

Let’s see what 2016 brings Miami!
