A Train of Thoughts

The Craig Robins Collection in Miami is comprised of over 1300 works of modern and contemporary art, exhibited at Dacra’s headquarters in the Miami Design District. A trove amassed over the last 40 years, this multi-faceted collection combines historical works with cutting-edge pieces of contemporary design. “A Train of Thoughts”, the 2023-2024 rotation, focuses on two core subgroups from the collection’s holdings: figuration and conceptualism.

The exhibition highlights a collecting history that has favored a taste for the abject and hyperbolic image, in tandem with the self-reflexive, institutional critique of art based on ideas a seemingly incompatible pair that yields unexpected dialogues.
