Pulse Miami Contemporary Art Fair Leo Villareal Dark Star Print Ad 2008 2000s

Pulse Miami promotes its contemporary art fair with a glowing target of dotted lights, a ring of pinks, violets and ambers on a dark field that seems to pulse with its name. The artwork credit names Leo Villareal's Dark Star from 2007, courtesy of Conner Contemporary Art, and the ad gives December 3 to 7 at Soho Studios in Miami's Wynwood District as the dates. The pitch is electricity and discovery, aimed at collectors, curators and design lovers on the hunt for new work. It is a glowing time capsule of the 2008 art-fair boom in the 2000s.
