Christie’s International Real Estate Returns as Marquee Sponsor of Art Wynwood, Art Miami Sister Fair

NEW YORK, NY– As the world’s leading luxury real estate network, Christie’s International Real Estate continues to reinforce ties between the global realms of fine art and high-end real estate. Christie’s International Real Estate is serving for the second year as the “Official Luxury Real Estate Partner” of Art Wynwood—sister fair to the immensely successful Art Miami.

In December 2013, record crowds entered Midtown Miami’s Art Miami pavilion and were immediately greeted by the Christie’s International Real Estate booth, as the global company returned as a marquee sponsor of the fair. For the second year in a row, Christie’s International Real Estate’s sponsorship extends to Art Wynwood, which will run Feb. 13- 17 in the same pavilion as Art Miami. The fair will encompass 70 international galleries featuring emerging, contemporary and modern works. Art Wynwood includes a unique display of street art, murals, pop surrealism and similar genres.

Throughout the duration of the Art Wynwood fair, Christie’s International Real Estate will host an interactive booth, exhibiting luxury residential real estate offerings from around the world. The hands-on display will afford Art Wynwood visitors an up-close look at over 14,000 exquisite properties presented by the network’s global affiliates. Attendees will also be presented with Christie’s International Real Estate magazine, and additional collateral for high-profile residences.

“This partnership with Art Wynwood speaks to the synergies between art and luxury real estate, and offers our network of affiliates a unique venue though which global relationships can be created and strengthened,” said Bonnie Stone Sellers, Chief Executive Officer of Christie’s International Real Estate. “Our expertise in the high-end residential market, coupled with our international reach, provides our high-net-worth clients an extraordinary range of services they can’t get anywhere else.”
