Hold the sun block! Amid packing and preparations for Art Basel Miami Beach…The inaugural on-line VIP Art Fair has announced a list of 139 partakers from 30 countries.

The complete roster follows below. (Tooting our horn: Art Market News broke news of the fair on Aug. 11 here.)

The fair name, which apparently stands for Viewing in Private and not Very Important (or is that Self-Important?) Person according to a press release, takes place on a website from Jan. 22 to Jan. 30. Dealer James Cohan is among forces behind the fair.

AXA Art Insurance has signed on as lead sponsor, although one must imagine a virtual fair entails far fewer insurance liabilities than a live fair, outside of carpal tunnel syndrome for gallerinas assigned to monitor the 24-hour chat.

Fair organizers have also teamed up with Art21 to produce videos of 18 studio visits, which will premiere in the virtual VIP Lounge. Artists include Bruce Nauman, Paul McCarthy, Cai Guo-Qiang and Cindy Sherman.
