Craig Robins Collection
"Walking on Air"

The Craig Robins Collection in Miami is comprised of over 1700 works of modern and contemporary art and exhibited at Dacra’s headquarters in the Miami Design District. A trove amassed over the last forty years, this multi-faceted collection combines historical works with cutting-edge pieces of contemporary design.

 The 2025-2026 rehang, “Walking on Air” presents a focus on the work of Richard Tuttle, the artist most prominently represented in the collection, with pieces ranging from the mid-1960’s to the present. Tuttle’s early work – his Drift construction (1965), tin Letters (1966), and dyed cloth pieces (1967) – first introduced the sense of spatial suspension and material subtlety that have continued to define his practice to this day. Seen alongside David Hammons’ Basketball Drawing (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, a similarity emerges between these works’ shared fascination with chance and playful negotiation between gravity and grace. Drawing from Tuttle’s namesake work from 2009, “Walking on Air” suggests a theme that threads through exhibited works by Jana Euler, Sasha Gordon, Xinyi Cheng and Mario Ayala.

Other highlights on display include recent acquisitions by Lauren Halsey, Sam McKinnis, Jill Mulleady, and others. Overall, more than three hundred works on view present an expansive overview of figurative art, in tandem with conceptualist masterpieces, and established design favorites such as Zaha Hadid, Jean Prouvé, Marc Newson and Marteen Bass.
