That’s a wrap... #nomoreartuntiltomorrow #miamiartweek2018
Woke up and took my Pulse ... which quickened as I viewed some nifty art. #pulseartfair #pulseartfair2018 #seemoreart #coffeehelped
“Cosmic Nurse” (1978) - a stunning autobiographical work by Bay Area Figurative artist Joan Brown (1938-1990). One of my favorite works - in ANY of the Miami Art Week fairs - that I’ve laid eyes on this week. Compelling. On view @anglimgilbertgallery in the @untitledartfair for just a few more hours. #bayareafigurativeart #joanbrown #feministart #selfportraiture #artofthe70s #figurativepainting #miamiartweek
Defunct department store springs to (night)life. Art. Happening. Performance. Party. Nightclub. Past my bedtime. What time is sunrise? #rawpopup #downtownmiami #performanceart #popupexhibition #miaminightlife
What are the odds? This morning’s quick stop at @aquaartmiami fair provided my “art souvenir” for this year’s Art|Basel / Miami Art Week. Walking into @212arts room at the Aqua Hotel I saw a painting by @285hugo on the wall which depicts #dickdastardly and a #stevemcqueen #heuermonaco. Looking down at my wrist I saw a Heuer Monaco Steve McQueen timepiece. Boom! Red Dot! Sold! Ridiculous! Loved Aqua - and my new painting. Tons of cool art in the rooms at this nifty little fair. Check it out!

Eye in the Sky. Farmers as lyrical and geometric abstractionists? Methinks so as I reel in Miami Beach... #planewindowview #theworldbelow #miamibound

TGIF on a late-Fall day, circa 1935? The junkman, in a Bulldog Mack truck, serenades his birds. Gregorio Prestopino (1907-1984) was born in Little Italy. He first set out to become a sign painter as the son of New York City immigrants. Instead, his talent provided a life-changing scholarship to the National Academy of Design, and for five years he studied drawing under C. W. Hawthorne. He spent the summer of 1934 at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire. His deep involvement with the colony led him to later serve as its director in 1954. Much of Prestopino’s work was in the vein of social realism. During the 1930s to 1950s he became deeply invested in portraying everyday Manhattan and Harlem scenes. He first became interested in the Ashcan school at the National Academy of Design, and remained committed to an interest in working with urban scenes. His lively treatment of people and events revealed his affinity for sixteenth-century artist Pieter Breughel. This large work, with original frame and Downtown Gallery label, is a museum-worthy example by an exceptional artist. #gregorioprestopino #socialrealism #wpaart #americanart #artofthe30s #hudsonny #macdowellcolony
