With the demand for quality evident by the current buyer’s market in contemporary art, Zach Feuer Gallery (LFL) brought out their best artist, the painter Dana Schutz, for Art Basel Miami 2009. The gallery’s booth consisted of new paintings by Schutz and a film and sculpture from Nathalie Djurberg. Schutz is considered one of today’s best young painters and frequently appears on many critics and collectors best-of lists, as well as part of major museum collections. Her last solo show at the gallery, Missing Pictures, was one of the most talked-about solo exhibitions of the year.

The Schutz works included her universe of colorful characters, each one or pair engaged in three frantic activities at once, such as “Hugging, Mugging, Climbing”. There was, of course, extreme interest in the work. It was rumored that all six Schutz paintings had sold by the end of the VIP preview for between $45,000-100,000.
