Time for a look at the art created at ArtCenter through the years. Photo by Leila Leder Kremer This is a year of big birthdays for South Florida’s art world. The Bass Museum had the major one – 50 years; but others too. Margulies has been around now for 15 years, Diana Lowenstein for 25, […]

Casts of body parts in Duane Hanson’s “Ghosts” exhibit. Duane Hanson might be the most famous artist to have lived and worked in South Florida, and who may be more familiar elsewhere. His eerily life-like figures and busts have been shown in museums across the world, and reside in collections such as the Saatchi Gallery, […]

“Winter Wolf and Shadow Wolf” from Really Large Numbers. Kind of like fireworks, Emerson Dorsch is finishing off its innovative programming, called “thisishappening,” with an explosion of happenings all this week. Writers, performers and visual artists from here and across the country will transform the outdoor courtyard garden into a unique project space each day […]

Wang Qingsong, “New Women.” The Frost Art Museum is opening up its two main Art Basel-time shows tomorrow – they couldn’t be more different, but both have real heft. “Wang Qingsong: ADifinitum” is the freshest, with huge photographic prints covering the entire third floor from the contemporary Chinese artist. Wang is not one of the […]

Lisa Sanditz, “If you didn’t know it’s the Swiss Alps, you might believe you’re there;” The Girls’ Club. It’s that time of the year: too much too see, too little time, only so many days in a week. November will be stuffed with openings, talks, happenings, including a lot of art-centric events coming up during […]

“Follow me,” by Wang Qingsong, upcoming exhibit at the Frost Museum. Carol Damian is stepping down as director of the Frost Art Museum-FIU. She’s been at the helm as both the museum and the arts community as a whole in Miami have exploded. Six years ago, the Frost unveiled their three-story new museum building on […]

“Tohu Bohu” oil painting by John Bailly. It took a long time for Miami to stand center stage, literally, as a culturally important city. So long identified as a vacuous vacation land filled with beach bunnies and cocaine cowboys, the city’s transformation into a much more significant force seemed to finally be acknowledged when homegrown […]

Opening night for “Imagined Landscapes,” solo show from Duval-Carrié at PAMM. Edouard Duval-Carrié needs no introduction to the local art world, or to the socially active community. Fresh off his highly acclaimed solo exhibition at PAMM last spring, Duval-Carrié has cemented a permanent place in Miami’s art pantheon. But he now joins nationally significant art […]

“Se Vende” 2014 from Glexis Novoa. Glexis Novoa is one of Miami’s more prominent and well-known artists. His black-and-white graphite constructs of a utopian metropolis gone wrong – cold, otherworldy, bereft of emotion – often site-specific to gallery and museum walls, have become part of the lexicon of contemporary art being made in Miami. But […]

Scott Armetta, “10/a 10/b”. It’s so nice to realize that landscape painting has not died, and that some of the best of it is still, well, old school. A great case in point: the gorgeous paintings of Scott Armetta hanging in the artist-run GucciVuitton gallery. Walk around Armetta’s world, and be transported into a clearly […]
