AT Miami's NADA art fair, which closed on Dec 10, the booths are small and the aisles narrow, which means galleries do their utmost to set themselves apart. So it was unusual to see paintings by the same artist - John McAllister, a Louisiana-born, Massachusetts-based artist - hung in two separate booths. One, on display at the Shane Campbell Gallery, was on sale for US$30,000 and sold in the first two hours of the fair's opening.
The second, which was 14 feet wide, was at the booth of James Fuentes Gallery, and by the end of the fair sold for US$70,000 to a trustee of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.
