Miami, FL – May 25, 2017 – Pérez Art Museum Miami Director Franklin Sirmans, The Jamaica Tourist Board and The Consulate General of Jamaica in Miami welcomed guests to a private cocktail reception in honor of the opening of PAMM’s newest exhibition John Dunkley: Neither Day nor Night.

 The exhibition presents the work of John Dunkley, widely considered to be one of Jamaica’s most important historical artists. Although his work is well represented in the collection of the National Gallery of Jamaica, Kingston, as well as in international private collections, Dunkley has not been the focus of a solo exhibition since the 1970s, and never before outside Jamaica. This exhibition represents a unique opportunity to bring together a substantial grouping of his work and to create an international context for its study.
