Hits of the week in Miami-Post #1

As you know, the art fairs are overwhelming. We saw six fairs and two collections plus some stuff sprinkled around Miami. Here’s what wowed us. We’re starting with sculpture and 2D favorites. Next post we’ll do some videos.

Bermudez works magic

detail of Basketball Game/ Juego De Baloncesto, the only pop-culture reference in the exhibit–and then again, it goes somewhere else entirely If I had three thumbs, I’d put them all up way high for Henry Bermudez’s solo exhibit at Projects Gallery.
