My next “curated” pair is Peter Halleyand Takashi Murakami.
So the parallel here is that the violence is transformed into peace and flowers. It turned a violent gesture into something smooth and lovable. And a common point with Fontana of the Schnabel painting is that it is not made on a canvas but on a broken plates which were put together. I have decided to show Fontana here, because it is first of all not a usual one with vertical cuts that the artist did. These holes on canvas made me think of hearts. The next couple of artists that I put together on this page is an Italian Lucio Fontanaand an American Julian Schnabel. It is interesting that I selected 2 artistes from Los-Angeles on the top, from 2 New-York based galleries, although one gallery is in Chelsea (Andrea Rosen) and the other in Lower East Side (JTT), the current point of attraction for art galleries in the city. There is a moon, there is a woman, and there is a spectrum between the two, which I guess we could call an unconsciousness. I like portraits as the genre of painting in general, and this one specifically attracted my attention, because it was simple way to show the relationship that a woman has with the moon and it’s energy. The second on the right top is by Becky Kolsrud, also from Los-Angeles, represented at JTT gallery. Aside an interesting and colorful assemblage that painting was filled with needles, which I interpreted as an acupuncture applied to art, healthy start of the fair. And at this point I understood that the quality of work will be extremely high. It was also the first one I saw when arrived at the vernissage of Art Basel Miami Beach. The first artwork on the left top is by Elliot Hundley from Los-Angeles, represented at Andrea Rosen gallery. All blue chip galleries are in ABMB and you can experience artworks of most important artists of the present and the past. I would still put Art Basel Miami Beach (ABMB) as number one of all fairs in town during that period.
Over 4 days – you can visit 20 art fairs, 5 private collections, multiple museums, galleries and art spaces. Art in Miami in December is by far the most large and exciting art entertainment.
