NEW YORK—All the art fair excitement that took ArtInfo’s home city by storm last week has wound down, and now, damp peltings of sleet and snow are the most remarkable thing occurring in New York.

Dreaming of warmer climes, ArtInfo asked our correspondents in Miami and Buenos Aires to send us their picks of art for sale in those cities, and—for lucky collectors lounging beachside in the Southern hemisphere—we even include a few notable works available from galleries in the Uruguay vacation spot of Punta del Este.

In Miami, our editors found standout work in two concurrent, yet very different shows at the Kevin Bruk Gallery. Two paintings and a drawing by Alex Brown demonstrate the mesmerizing results that he attains with his experiments in flattening shapes and perspectives.

Meanwhile, we love the quirky compositions Su-en Wong uses in her paintings and works on paper that depict scout troops—composed of tiny self portraits—engaged in adventures that channel Henry Darger.

Down in Buenos Aires, Luz Z Fine Arts is featuring three diverse painterly styles: Lydia Zubizarreta’s abstracts, Fabian La Rosa’s finely detailed paintings and a colorful continuation of Alejandro Vigilante’s series Email is My Art (which ArtInfo recently highlighted during Miami Basel).

Art dealer Veronica Rawson Paz de Elizalde has gallery locations in both Argentina and Uruguay, although her VYP Galeria de Exposiciones in Punta del Este is the more relaxed of the two. She is currently showing a few excellent works there by Ricardo Roux and Gonzalo Magnou.

The longest established gallery in Punta del Este, Galeria de Arte Manzione, is showing work by Uruguayan artists this season, and of the art on view, we particularly liked paintings by Bruno Widman and Oscar Garcia Reino.

Finally, Galeria Sur is currently exhibiting a sculpture by Octavio Podesta (recently purchased by a collector from Monaco) and Pablo Atchugarry’s giant sculptures in white Carrara marble. But our favorite work on view had to be recent prints of work by Brazilian photographer Mario Cravo Neto.
