New York-based Benrimon Editions (Booth D5) will exhibit art by Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama and Julian Opie, while Poland’s Epicentrum Art Gallery will showcase works by Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí.

Monumental highlights: sculpture and a prehistoric predator
Another notable highlight of Scottsdale Art Week’s second installment is the introduction of Gino Miles’ “Triumph,” a sculpture the artist began six years ago to keep his studio team busy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Listed at $1 million, the piece is the largest Miles has ever created and reflects 50 years of persistence and growth. It serves as a tribute to his family and the collectors, professors, assistants and galleries who shaped his career.
Also joining the fair’s lineup of marquee works is “Maximus,” a 50-million-year-old fossil crocodile that Logan, Utah-based Green River Fossil Company will bring to market for $1.2 million. Measuring more than eight feet and preserved with remarkable skeletal detail, the apex predator appears in a custom framed mural presentation that positions the specimen as both scientific record and large-scale wall installation.

Cultural programming and opening night vernissage
Beyond the gallery presentations, Scottsdale Art Week will feature cultural programming in collaboration with Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona State University Art Museum, Heard Museum, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Center for Creative Photography, Denver Art Museum and Heritage Auctions.
Topics include collecting strategies, global market trends, art collection care and preservation and the intersection of art and design.
The four-day fair opens with an Opening Night Vernissage sponsored by Gila River Resorts & Casinos from 6–9 p.m. Thursday, March 19 at WestWorld. The event benefits Phoenix Art Museum and offers attendees the opportunity to acquire works ahead of the public opening. The evening will feature award presentations, live music by Lunar Calendar and a wearable-art runway show by Galina Mihaleva from FIDM at Arizona State University.

“This is an event that brings respected galleries, notable artists and trusted industry voices together in one place, giving enthusiasts ample opportunity to build and expand their collections,” Gause says.
In addition to March being an ideal time for tourism in Scottsdale thanks to comfortable temperatures, numerous lodging opportunities and annual events like Major League Baseball’s spring training, the city has also become the nation’s fastest-growing area for millionaires, giving galleries the opportunity to exhibit their works before an eager and affluent audience.
