Miami Arts with Tony Japour
It is often said in art circles that the first truly innovative works of art emanating out the United States was Abstract Expressionism circa 1940-50’s. However, it occurred to me during 2010 Art Basel Miami Beach (ABMB) that our first contribution to the contemporary art world occurred over two centuries before with an idea enshrined in our US Constitution, namely, freedom of expression.
Moca/Vanity Fair Reception
More than 3,000 art lovers packed North Miami’s Museum of Contemporary Art to celebrate the start of Art Basel Miami Beach week with the annual MOCA & VANITY FAIR/VANITY FAIR INTERNATIONAL party. The event marked the opening of Jonathan Meese: Sculpture, the first major solo museum exhibition in the United States for the German artist focusing on his three-dimensional. Guests also enjoyed MOCA’s exhibition, Bruce Weber: Haiti/Little Haiti featuring 150 of Bruce Weber’s photographs chronicling the Haitian community in Miami over the last seven years. Both exhibitions are part of MOCA’s Knight Exhibition Series.
