Miami, FL – October 24, 2021 – The nationally acclaimed artist Mira Lehr, celebrated as “the Godmother of Miami’s Art Scene,” has been selected for several prominent exhibitions, art fairs, events and launches during the eagerly awaited return of Art Basel season this year in Miami. Sixty years ago, when the pioneer eco-feminist artist co-founded one of America’s first-ever co-ops for women artists in 1961, it was hard to imagine during that male-dominated era how powerfully Lehr’s career would continue to take flight six decades later ― as such a force of nature. She is now creating more new art than ever before. The demand for Lehr’s work is evident in the lineup of shows, museum acquisitions, commissions, and major events leading up to Miami Art Week 2021.

The Deering Estate has chosen Lehr for its season opener, with the new solo exhibition Mira Lehr: Regenerative Rhythms. Curated by Melissa Diaz, the show features all new works by Lehr created in 2021 that have never before been exhibited. International recognition of Lehr’s artistic trajectory rises to even greater heights this year ― Skira Editore, one of the world’s leading publishers of art books, will announce during Art Basel Miami Beach their new, 420-page book Mira Lehr: Arc of Nature, the Complete Monograph by Skira.

“These new works by Mira Lehr resonate in our post-quarantine pandemic period. Prodding us to consider our relationship with nature,” said Melissa Diaz, the Deering Estate’s Museum Curator. “Through her six decades long commitment to the growth of the Miami art community, Lehr has become an icon of feminist and environmental art,” adds Diaz.
