Palbo CanoLady Liberty
When he's not dumpster-diving or rifling through the shelves of his favorite thrift stores, Pablo Cano can be found in the garage behind his Little Havana home turning junk into art while listening to Cole Porter songs, Tin Pan Alley tunes, and other favorite ditties. Like the toy maker in Pinocchio, this conceptual Gepetto creates enchanting marionettes out of the trash he collects or the sundry castoffs his friends from all over the world bring to his back-yard studio when they visit.
Will Ryman, making a papier mache sculpture
A native New Yorker, Will Ryman is internationally known for his large-scale figurative sculpturesbased on urban scenes and outsized flora. His work steadily incorporates a range of materialsincluding plaster, fiberglass, stainless steel, paper maché, magic sculpt, brass, copper tubing, andcast aluminum.

Massimo Vitali was born in Como, Italy in 1944. Vitali studied photography in London; he first worked as a photojournalist in the 1970s and then worked later as a movie camera operator . His more recent work can be considered as fine art photography .Vitali's chosen perspective for some of his works is from a podium (four or five meters high), with the use of large-format film cameras which are used to capture high-resolution etails over a broad expanse in everyday scenes such as beaches .
Garry Winogrand (14 January 1928, New York City – 19 March 1984, Tijuana, Mexico) was a street photographerr known for his portrayal of America in the mid-20th century.Winogrand studied painting at City College of New York and painting and photography at Columbia University in New York City in 1948. He also attended a photojournalism class taught by Alexey Brodovic at The New School for Social Research in New York City in 1951.
Winogrand was known for his portrayal of American life in the early 1960s. Many of his photographs depict the social issues of his time and in the role of media in shaping attitudes. He roamed the streets of New York with his 35mm Leica camera rapidly taking photographs using a prefocused wide angle lens. His pictures frequently appeared as if they were driven by the energy of the events he was witnessing. While the style has been much imitated, Winogrand's eye, his visual style, and his wit, remain unique.

Elliott Erwitt (b. 26 July 1928 Paris, France) is an advertising and documentary photographer known for his black and white candid shots of ironic and absurd situations within everyday settings—the master of the "decisive moment".
Born in Paris of Jewish-Russian immigrant parents, Erwitt served as a photographer's assistant in the 1950s in the United States Army while stationed in France and Germany. Erwitt was influenced by his meeting the famous photographers, Edward Steichen, Robert Capa and Roy Stryker. Stryker, the former Director of the Farm Security Administration's photography department, hired Erwitt to work on a photography project for the Standard Oil Compay. Erwitt then began a freelance photographer career and produced work for Collier's, Look, Life and Holiday magazines. Joining the Magnum Photos agency in 1953 allowed Erwitt to shoot photography projects around the world

Emil Lukas's artwork combines simple, known materials with complex, unknowable actions. Gravity, light, chemical reactions, and time are used by the artist to alter simple materials like plaster and paper. Lukas often works on a project not knowing what the final result will be. Importantly, for Lukas, it is when these unpredictable forces exert their influence that a pivotal moment of process occurs. In this way, Lukas constantly tests and expands the parameters of the materials he uses in his art and enables, as he explains, "marks to make themselves." We hope that you too will discover this exquisite play between materials and process as you explore the artworks and art projects in this exhibition.

THE STAIRWELL PROJECT: Six contemporary artists from Miami’s New World School of the Arts came together at the Sagamore hotel to create a vertical-type gallery. Each artist infused their own unique, innovative energy to create one collaborative work of art, throughout a six-story stairwell located off the main gallery. Dubbed “The Stairwell Project,” this group of both, students and recent graduates, after meeting certain criteria, were selected to participate by New World School of the Arts’ Dean of Visual Arts, Maggy Cuesta. Their personal artistic expression in transforming a separate floor of the stairwell ultimately blends each of their individual works into one harmonious piece of art. “The Stairwell Project” is the first in the continuing series of creating works within the hotel’s stairwells.Through “The Stairwell Project,” the Sagamore has discovered an untapped space where emerging artists have the opportunity to display their work in this vertical-type gallery, creating yet another inventive way of immersing Sagamore guests in the art that envelops them everywhere on the property, through all spaces within the hotel. Guests who choose to take the stairs instead of the elevators will be brought closer to art through a cohesive visual experience– even within a stairwell.
