Art Basel and Miami Art week is the epicenter of the art business. The name of the game is art sales but, The Directed Art Modern is changing the game.

MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, November 22, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Art Basel and Miami Art week has grown into something truly larger than life becoming the Mecca of the art world where gallerists, artists and collectors converge for one short week. It has launched new artists and catapulted careers to new heights and recognition but, at the core of it all, is the business of art. The numerous satellite art fairs around the city vie for attention with the sole purpose to make as much profit in as little time as possible, all while losing sight of the artists and the art. Rebelling against the norm, The Directed Art Modern’s highly individual, extremely refined style of developing artists with a focus on art for the sake of art, is responding to the exploitative aspect of the art industry.

The DAM was conceived on the ideals of a team striving to change the business of art. Melanie Prapopoulos accredited founder of the DAM manages international artists and their ever-developing portfolios, as well as collectors with art acquisitions. Valery Francisco, co-founder with an international curatorial history directing contemporary art fairs, exhibitions and site specific installations for over a decade. Vivian Sangsukwirasathien, formerly at Sotheby’s specializing in secondary markets and in assisting artists lends her expertise to further enhance the DAM’s initiatives.
