The Miami Design District opened Miami Art Week 2025 with the debut of Walking on Air, the latest exhibition drawn from the Craig Robins Collection. The event brought together figures from the art and design worlds for an evening hosted by Craig Robins at the Buick Building.
The Craig Robins Collection includes more than 1,700 works of modern and contemporary art, displayed at Dacra’s headquarters in the district. The 2025–2026 rehang centers on Richard Tuttle, the most extensively represented artist in the collection, with works spanning from the mid-1960s to today. Early pieces such as Drift constructions (1965), tin Letters (1966), and dyed cloth works (1967) introduced themes of spatial lightness and material restraint—qualities that continue to define Tuttle’s practice.
Within the exhibition, these works are situated alongside pieces that echo a similar engagement with chance, balance, and improvisation. Highlights include David Hammons’ B. Ball (1998), John Baldessari’s Throwing Three Balls in the Air to Get a Straight Line (1973), and Marcel Duchamp’s 1964 edition of 3 Standard Stoppages. Walking on Air, titled after Tuttle’s 2009 series, connects these ideas across works by Jana Euler, Sasha Gordon, Xinyi Cheng, and Mario Ayala. Recent acquisitions from Lauren Halsey, Sam McKinnis, Jill Mulleady, and others expand the scope of the presentation.
Guests were offered an early look at the two-floor installation before joining an intimate dinner with Robins, curated by WE ARE ONA and supported by Bvlgari. The evening served as the unofficial start to Miami’s annual art season.
Attendees included Adriana Cisneros, Amber Ridinger, Andre Branch, Andres Fanjul, Bippy Siegal, Carlos De La Cruz, Chris and Brooke Stamp, Dasha Zhukova, Daniella Levine Cava, David Adjaye, Ermenegildo Zegna, Herve Perrot, Jackie Soffer, Jeffrey Deitch, Karolina Kurková, Mario Ayala, Michael Burke, Princess Firyal Jordan, Richard and Lisa Bressler, and Robbie Williams.
