In 1988, Margulies Taplin Gallery was opened in Miami, Florida by Christine “Cricket” Taplin, her husband Martin Taplin, and their friend, renowned art collector Martin Margulies. The gallery presented works from a variety of well-known artists, such as Vik Muniz, Manuel Neri, Nancy Graves, Jonathan Lasker, Peter Halley and Joel Shapiro, among others. Margulies Taplin Gallery had locations in Coral Gables and Boca Raton. The trio would later close the gallery in 1997.
