Exhibitors Lined Up for Debut of Houston’s Untitled Art Event
Untitled Art Houston, a renowned art fair, is set to make its debut in the city on September 19-21, with a preview day on the 18th, at the George R. Brown Convention Center. The decision to establish the fair in Houston comes after a report revealed that the city's arts-related expenditure totaled $1.3 billion in 2022, making it the largest market in Texas.
Untitled Art, which has been running a fair in Miami Beach for 12 years, announced its expansion to Houston last November, with founder Jeffrey Lawson expressing enthusiasm about the city's burgeoning arts scene. A portion of the fair's ticket sales will be donated to the Rothko Chapel, which reopened in December following hurricane damage.
The inaugural edition of Untitled Art Houston will feature 84 exhibitors, with 17 from Texas galleries or nonprofits, accounting for about 20% of the exhibitor list. Notable Texas participants include Erin Cluley Gallery, Barbara Davis Gallery, and Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino.
The fair will also host leading galleries from across the US, such as Altman Siegel and Jessica Silverman from San Francisco, Charlie James Gallery, Luis De Jesus, and de boer from Los Angeles, Library Street Collective from Detroit, and Half Gallery, Hollis Taggart, Marc Straus, and Yossi Milo from New York.
International dealers joining the fair include Patel Brown (Toronto and Montreal), El Apartamento (Madrid and Havana), Cecilia Brunson Projects (London), Revolver Galería (Lima), TERN (Nassau), and Lazy Mike (Riga and Seoul).
Untitled Art Houston will also include a Nest section, offering reduced booth prices to 20 galleries, including 12.26, Martha's, Murmurs, Megan Mulrooney Gallery, Constitución, Povos, and KDR. The fair will collaborate with Houston institutions like Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, and the Menil Collection, for special projects throughout the fair.
In lieu of a formal statement, Michael Slenske, the director of the Houston fair, expressed his excitement about launching Untiled Art Houston "during a time when all of Houston's top museums are in expansion mode...I'm just very excited to be part of this new era of growth in the city's art landscape."
