Sagamore Hotel Miami Beach is best known for its Art Deco exterior and floor-to-ceiling art, originally coined “The Art Hotel.” Conveniently located in the center of South Beach, the hotel is just walking distance to the Miami Beach Convention Center and the city’s must-see destinations during the annual Art Basel and Miami Art Week.
Celebrating over 15 years as the Miami’s “hot-spot” for artists, collectors and exhibitors from around the world, this year, Sagamore Hotel will continue to honor tradition while also re introducing the hotel and its ongoing series #SagamoreisArt. After thoughtful planning and a collaborative vision, the hotels’ new ownership and team sought out top sponsors, designers, artists and influencers to create a dynamic, one-of-a-kind experience including a strategic partnership with Perez Art Museum Miami.
The Sagamore Hotel will play host to several events and exhibits during Miami Art Week 2016 in addition to its very own art takeover themed Femme Fatale, with works by world-acclaimed and emerging artists showing various representations of women through media, paintings, photography and sculptures. Curated by fashion historian Catherine Ormen; hotel partner, Ronit Neuman and Sagamore’s art advisor, Sebastien Laboureau, the thought behind Femme Fatale is to not only attribute to the women you see on the cover of magazines, but also working woman, mothers, wives, all whose beauty resonate through our everyday lives.
To kick-off the week, beginning Tuesday, November 29 through Tuesday, December 6, Lingerie Francaise the Association for the Promotion of Corsetry Industries, presents Lingerie Francasie Exhibition. The 100-year retrospective of French lingerie will be displayed throughout the hotel featuring influential and iconic pieces, each item illustrating significant developments in fashion, technological innovation, legendary craftsmanship, the morphing silhouette and ever-evolving ideals of feminine propriety. The private archived collections by 11 renowned French manufacturers include Aubade Barbara, Chantelle, Empreinte, Implicite, Lise Charmel, Lou, Louisa Bracq, Maison Lejaby, Passionata and Simone Perele.
Throughout the hotels’ public spaces, additional art can be seen by renowned artists, some of which have never been shown in the U.S. or were commissioned by the hotel to display exclusively. These artists include but not limited to Gilles Berquet, Lita Cabellut, Vincent Corpet, Annie Goetzinger, Margot Van Huijkelom, Frédéric Léglise, Sabine Pigalle, Mel Ramos, Tom Wesselmann and Russell Young with additional names to be released. During this time, Sagamore Hotel will open its doors to the public, welcoming guests to peruse the art at their leisure between 9AM and 9PM or can arrange for a private tour, available daily at 7PM with the hotels art curator, by appointment only. Select pieces will also be available to purchase.
While furthering its artistic endeavor, the hotels’ new owners will continue with the iconic Saturday Brunch, on December 3rd from 9AM – 1PM, sponsored by BNY Mellon Wealth Management, Marsh & McLennan Agency and Unity Jets. The invitation-only event will showcase an inspiring program of live music, art and culture including six female street artists who will demonstrate their talents on various media platforms. A portion of the events’ proceeds will be donated to different organizations including Mosaic Dance Project, providing an immersive dance performance; Piano Slam who will showcase several winners from the past year to share poetry, presented by Dranoff 2 Piano Foundation; and at 10AM and Noon pianist Ji strikes a personal chord, telling his own story through this musical portrait, drawing inspiration from past masters and the vibrant culture of today on a Steinway concert grand piano, courtesy of Steinway & Sons, Coral Gables.
This year will mark an influential time for the Sagamore Hotel, as they endure long-lasting relationships with the art and cultural community, allowing both recognized and up-and-coming talent to utilize the property as a platform to present their creativity whether it be through art, music, fashion or food.
