Episode 36 - Moiz Zilberman

Welcome to Art Lovers Forum.  I am very excited about this interview with Moiz Zilberman. This is the first time I am talking to a gallerist who owns galleries in three countries. In fact, he has multiple galleries in each city. He is certainly experiencing the art world on a grand scale.

 

Moiz’s galleries are in Istanbul, Berlin and Miami. He feels the Magic City is the perfect place to promote conceptual art. He’s not saying that other markets are not ripe for new ideas, he is just emphasizing that Miami has one of the biggest contemporary audiences on earth.  

 

“Everything is relatively new in Miami, the condos, the shopping areas, the clubs, the restaurants, the art galleries and most of all the age of residents, young. You can tell what the environment is like by the museums. Most of the art work exhibited is contemporary no matter what artists and country they are featuring.”

 

Moiz is very passionate about conceptual art and that is one of the main reasons he is a gallerist in three countries, which may grow in the next few years. His major desire is to introduce artists from Europe and the Middle East to the United States and South America. Vice versa as well. Having galleries in strategic locations gives him the ability to make the proper introductions.

 

That’s one of the reasons why Moiz opened the Zilberman Gallery in the Design District. The area is one of the most exclusive and exciting neighborhoods in Miami. It’s a perfect fit. Most of the folks who visit the Design District want the highest form of fashion and design. Moiz is ready to meet that desire with his alternative artists.

 

Zilberman is celebrating its 15th year, representing 29 international artists from Turkey to Mexico, Hong Kong to Colombia, and Germany. With the addition of the new Miami location, it now has a total of six galleries in three cities: Istanbul, Berlin, and Miami, making it an international hub for contemporary art.
