Nice pics of some excellent stuff. I love that Haring doodle. I recommend checking out Lucy Sparrow if you want a smile on your face...

I saw the Malboro Lights packet which look good. Have you displayed them in any particular way or just put them on a shelf/jacket pocket or small kitchen drawer? I'm considering buying a porn mag and guessing it'd look good framed up - if i could avoid damaging the felt. It would be the first porn mag i havn't found in a bush.

Thanks BA.
Just seeing that Shin piece cheered me up!
Love Inti amd Sepe's work too.

Was definitely one of the better years for sure. Discovered some amazing new artists and always great to meet up and hang with the ones you already know.  Nice pic of a night out with Snik, Whatson and company.

Video installation piece I really liked from Swiss artist MARCK

I have two lucky strikes, one a packet of 20 amd one a packet of 10. And I have a packet of 10 B&H.
The Malborogh were sold out when I bought them.
I just have them on a shelf. I'm fond of them.
Porn mag sounds good!

Thanks for posting. I've not seen the above painting before.

From the poor composition and curious rock-like shapes at the base, would it be correct to assume this was cut out from some wall and is being sold without a Pest Control COA?

Also, do you know what the image on the sandwich board represents?

[At first, I thought it was a biohazard symbol, or part of an old stencil being recycled (the descending mechanical claw with DJ below), but that doesn't seem to be the case.]

Wasn't it from Warhol V Banksy?

That video installation is super creepy Black Apple Art !

I do wonder whether the Banksy you posted and the pink one below was issued with a COA...

I saw the two Banksy pieces and asked the gallery owner if they had Pest Control COA and he told me they did, I didn't actually see them. He was asking $1.2mil for the Copper and $850k for the Laugh Now Chimp.

>>>From the poor composition and curious rock-like shapes at the base, would it be correct to assume this was cut out from some wall and is being sold without a Pest Control COA?<<<

I believe with PC authentication. All of those red clay/dry wall works come from the after party installation from Existencilism back in '02. Visually, I love that pink happy copper but that price is moronic.

Thanks for the pics, Black Apple. For me, the standouts are the Shaomin and Lichtenstein pieces.

Put the two together, and this is what you end up with ...

some really nice pics. but that pic from the local walgreens does not fit

Hi there,
Art Basel is now approaching (June 16 to 19).
I wonder if any one here has informations about shows or events that I should go.
I never go myself, but this year I consider to make the trip.
Does any one plan to go ?

Thanks for your replies.

[sin]

Got in late this year as I was traveling with my family, so only was able to get in for Thursday - Sunday.
Didnt hit every fair this year largely due to that.

Scope | Untitled | Pulse | Aqua
also a few studio visits, a pop up or 2 and the Juxtapoz thing.

Thursday
Studio visit with Reinier Gamboa, David Olivera, Juan Traviseo, and Adrian Avila

Rei is working on a new body of work so I didnt grab pics.
Juan is working on something that will be HUGE in 2017, but also didnt get shots out of it because he cant release info.
David has a big show coming up at Bernarducci Meisel Gallery.   Great photo realistic painter who focuses on boats, water, and sky in his pieces.   Working on a mural with Juan in Wynwood right now.

Adrian is working on a body of work in conjunction with a book release by his benefactor.
The leap in quality of these pieces vs his prior work is astounding.   My running joke is I want to know how he's finding the babies to sacrifice because the work has had a techtonic shift that is massive.


Saturday
Scope 
For the last 4 or 5 years Scope has been my show, what I collect, in my price point, guaranteed to present some great works and new exciting artists.  Much like the Dolphins this weekend, Scope broke their win streak.  This years fair was a yard sale, horribly curated, and by far my low light of the weekend.  There were clear highlights, but the step down from that to the rest of the show was a chasm and I was utterly dissapointed.

Untitled
Every year I love this fair a little more.   It always challenges me.  The work is outside my comfort zone and I always find something that really inspires me to dig deeper.   This year, at the same booth as my favorite from last year, a beautiful piece made of fly vomit... yep.

Someone posted a short video of Kaws demonstrating lining technique around the time of the print release for Art Basel.  If you see this,  could you reply with the video? 

Cheers,

Thank you! Is that just a paintbrush? Must be something else as a brush couldn't hold that much paint for such a long line. Do you k now what it's called?

Hi,
I’ll be heading to Miami in a few weeks for Basel. It’s my first time attending and was hoping for insight from others who’ve been. Any shows in particular I should check out? Do I need to purchase tickets in advance or can I buy at the door? Or, anything else you might think helpful. Thanks.

Was there in 2015. And not at all what I expected.
I thought it was just an art fair, but I have not even been at the Art Basel venue.

It's basicly a whole neighborhood soaked in spraypaint. Wynwood, around 20th street I believe.
Everywhere artists painting huge walls. I've seen Ben Eine and some others paint there.

I would go there the first days, so most artists are still painting. I was a bit late.
Great atmosphere, only traffic and parking is a b!tch.

[NYart]

Was planning on going this year for my first time but buying a house and moving got in the way! You know, priorities.. 🙄

[conor2l]

Im going to be there as well, there are shows within the art basel "show" such as context and pulse on miami beach at indian park. You buy tix to both of those, i dont think pre sale is needed but dont quote me on that. Those shows are filled with galleries from all over the world and the artists they rep. Lots of great parties that week as well which is a nice addition to great art.

I definitely want to make time for wynwood. Thanks for the recommendation

[trueblue]

I've gone the past 5 years (and going again this year) and have really enjoyed the Scope, Context / Art Miami, and Pulse shows. These shows tend to have more things in my interest (and price range).

I'd also recommend the Basel show at the convention center; it's an experience seeing works by Rothko, Picssso, etc up for sale. It's also where the major galleries like Gagosion set-up shop. You can buy tickets when you walk-in, no need to buy in advance (most shows are $30-$50 for a day pass). There are also shuttles that run between the shows, I'd recommend these or an Uber versus driving yourself.

As Dive Jedi noted above Wynwood is awesome. There's lots of street parties going on in the evenings. Check out Wynwood Walls and the Juxtapoz pop-up shops too. Cool place to just walk around. Wynwood Yard is a food truck park that has some good food and cool vibe.

If you're staying near the beach, Broken Shaker at the Freehand is a great place to grab a drink, super chill, laid back vibe.

I’ll probably try and make it to scope, pulse, and context if I have enough time. I only have 3 full days and I’m not sure how long it takes to walk each of the shows.
