Around the World in 80 Works
French artist Alain Godon showcases in Design District
Markowicz Fine Art Gallery hosted internationally renowned painter and sculptor Alain Godon at an invitation-only, one-man exhibition, Around the World in Eighty Works. The exhibition featured new sculptures from Godon’s Architectural series, and was the first fine art event taking place at the “new” Miami Design District since Art Basel 2014.
Godon began his Architectural series in 2006. Since then, he has painted and sculpted the sites and spirit of many cities, including Paris, New York, Amsterdam and Miami. Each bronze sculpture is related to an existing painting, and a total of 80 artworks were on exhibit.
