LOOK INTO MY OWL

Pulse Miami is host to ninety international exhibitors this weekend. It is a powerful experience to walk through the familiar halls and absorb the diverse nature of the artists on view. The exterior gardens with casual lounging areas are always a welcome sight for the leg weary fair goer. Pulse is a sure bet. Treat yourself right and jump on the convenient shuttle over to the Ice Palace.

The tenth edition of Art Basel Miami Beach kicked off today. A few hundred feet into the chaos and I felt that the overall quality of the work was better than the previous two years. It is difficult to pinpoint the reason for this observation. Perhaps it is something to do with the economy or the influx of international collectors but the showing throughout was strong. If you plan to visit the Convention Center over the next few days, get there early and be prepared to walk and walk and walk. I took photographs of most of the work that demanded my attention but I am sure that another viewer would return with much different evidence.
