Gallop's picks for Miami galleries, October 30–November 5, 2026: 4 shows worth the trip, plus 2 last chances, each with a note from Gallop's editors.
Miami artists with ties to the nonprofit contribute paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, and interdisciplinary works to this thirtieth-anniversary group exhibition. Every work is included in a silent benefit auction for the organization's artist programs.
García and Kusche-Iglesias' outdoor aluminum-tubing structure recasts a triumphal arch as a Miami porch. Reconfigured lawn-chair parts provide shade and seating, while its patterns echo local security grilles.
The show gathers works from the Nader Museum collection by fourteen Latin American artists, Diego Rivera, Wifredo Lam and Fernando Botero among them. Five themes, from myth and ritual to color and movement, replace a timeline.
Salz pairs glossy, gradated-color shaped works from his multishapes series with earlier pieces from 2020 to 2022. The color shifts with light and viewpoint.
Silva’s Plexiglas reliefs, columns, folding screens, and suspended structures combine geometry with transparency, color, and movement. Their mathematical schemes include the golden ratio, Fibonacci spiral, and Le Corbusier’s Modulor, and the pieces are made to be walked around.
Van Son’s six paintings distort familiar forms and attend to the shifting textures and sensitivities of skin. The artist’s tactile process uses layering and erasure and addresses the boundaries of figuration.
Everything else on view: every gallery show in Miami.
