I'm no art critic but do know what I enjoy looking at. This is crap, no wonder it's in South Florida...

Over 2000 artists and 250+ galleries from all over the world at the main event, and countless peripheral events all around town in many many galleries and you see 30 cheesy photos (mostly of people) and decide it is crap.

It is a very impressive event.

The visual arts in America are in terrible shape. That being said there are good landscape painters out west. It is funny that New York have surrendered and the west are now the home of real deal painting and art that is concerned with craftsmanship.

oh please.....low brow "skulls and snakes"? california is and always will be known for vacuous knock-offs of real art....visual or auditory.....

I was referring to landscape painting, but I suppose that the better work in the lowbrow movement is superior to the phony stuff that the trust-funders in New York churn out.

Metaphorically speaking, it's kinda like a french-kiss retreat for the self-appointed art stars to exchange saliva over a long weekend. If you're lucky you might glance at some interesting art that's being used as props in this incestuous pageant.

I was invited to a couple Basel parties but lit the menorah with family instead! That said, I did have a wonderful day perusing some of the fringe shows -- there's no other art event like this week in Miami.

LCD Soundsystem = art? LOL! Man, most people are completely stupid when it comes to music. And what is this? Art for the rich, famous, and phony? Please.
