Party Like an Art Star: Art Basel Miami Beach 2012

March 26, 2013 by Jeanette Joy Harris

Thursday, 19:30 Jessica Browdy, Lindsay Scherr, and I were greeted at Verge Art Fair at the Essex Hotel by Nordic vodka girls, a flower installation of topiary wolves eating pieces of faux bloodied meat and a football themed performance art piece with suited up players and cheerleaders.  Only in Miami Beach can the brutal, the decadent, and the camp sit side by side with such ease. Welcome to Miami Art Week. Miami Art Week happens each year from Tuesday through […]

The Secret Locket and the Intense Gaze: Spanish Portraits at MFAH

March 24, 2013 by Jeanette Joy Harris

Going to Paris was like being at home watching a movie about Paris. This was […]
