Art Basel continues to complete the cultural experience in Miami every December. This was my first time attending Art Basel, but I can truly say that it was worth every penny. While it took me over an hour and a half to walk row by row to see every piece of art, there are five art pieces that I think everyone should see. These pieces were chosen because of their uniqueness and quality.
1. Will Ryman's "Bird"
This was part of Paul Kasman Gallery and it was basically a bird made of steel nails. The rose in the bird's mouth softened the nails and made this the one piece that stood out from among many.
2. James Casebere's "Green Staircase"
This was a picture of a staircase with rippling water on the floor. This art piece also featured a slightly opened white door. This was a very contemporary art piece and one that could be included in an office or dorm room.
3. Paul Vivacqua
This art piece was at the north end of the exhibits and it featured sand with speakers and a CD scattered throughout the sand. This was interesting because it reminded me of someone seeking tranquility at the beach, but finding it difficult to be without music.
4. "The Eye of History"
This piece was by Marc Quinn and it was also called the Atlantic Perspective. The eyeball was colored in blue and white with the black pupil staring back at you.
5. Vik Muniz's Mona Lisa. Everyone considers Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa a significant piece of art, but da Vinci's work was made from Gordian puzzles, making it even more stunning than before.
Art Basel also surprisingly featured many untitled art pieces such as Robert Longo's picture of a roaring tiger and Barbara Kruger's Untitled, which featured the phrase, "Do I have to give up me to be loved by you?"
Andy Warhol was also included in the exhibition hall, but the pictures of naked sexual parts was not the Andy Warhol that I expected to encounter. Finally, Starbucks made an appearance in Jani Leinenen "Starbucks Cuckoo," a clock featuring various men and a horse.
About Me
- Sandra Remilien
- Sandra Remilien is an American. Sandra Remilien is a Christian Miami native who loves to write. She is currently unemployed because a jealous, illiterate Haitian witch named Jeaccinette Philogene has been doing witchcraft to monitor her so she can do witchcraft on every job that she applies to so they do not hire her. Jeaccinette did witchcraft to get the password to her blog and gave someone and Guylene and Luna, who did witchcraft on her, the password to her blog so they could add things, change what she wrote so words are misspelled and it does not make sense and so people do not know the truth about the witchcraft that she did because she is stupid. Sandra Remilien does not like Haitians because they do witchcraft. Jeaccinette is doing witchcraft to make people say Sandra Remilien is Haitian and was born in Haiti so she can do witchcraft to make Sandra Remilien uplift Haitians. Sandra received a masters degree in journalism from Columbia University in 2008 and a bachelors degree in print journalism from the University of Miami in 2006.
