Most of my posts are about pleasant things -- with the occasional rant about things that perturb me!

Art Basel 2012

I ventured out early Saturday morning to Wynwood to see this so-called "art" at Art Basel 2012.  It's pretty-much all junk in my opinion; but, there were pianos that were beautiful.  They were donated by Steinway and decorated by artists.  They were out on display in the Wynwood District.  They were fun to see.







 
Some future pianists!


 
 
This photograph by Diane Arbus was taken in Central Park NY in 1962.   Below the photograph, are some posters around Miami.   The artist used the Diane Arbus photo - I don't know if she would approve.
 
 



 
More art.
 










 
 
I really don't understand why there was a dude there with an alligator (he was standing in front of the alligator and the alligator would jump up and snap at him - WTF?!)


 
Seriously??  At an art show??  This isn't the Everglades!

 
A very nice police officer on a horse who was a rescuee.



 
There were PLENTY of trash cans around the area for people to deposit their trash in.  However, in typical Miami fashion, they chose to mostly throw it on the ground.


 
The artsy day ended with a delicious pizza from Harry's!
