post basel
so basel came and went and with it, so did all the people and the traffic
but, a lot of the art stayed and we are fortunate miamians for that
every year i find myself doing more pre and post basel than during basel itself
this year was no exception
i don’t want to come across as an art snob but, i feel like when basel started twelve years ago, not only was it much smaller (giving everyone a chance to see most of the art), it also felt like all the art was hand picked
the art felt selective and different
today’s basel is a free for all that has turned into a huge art circus where everyone is an artist, an art collector and a gallery owner
it is sensory overload and way too commercial
anyway, that’s just the way i feel and i am going to leave it at that
it is not a basel rant
one of the great things about basel though is that we get to see friends who live far and who we don’t get to see often
like Kenny
who Lily loves and looks forward to seeing every year
fortunately Kenny hung around and we were able to see him in action post basel
happy friday friends!
have a great weekend
proud
her poses are killing me lately. that’s why i’ve been trying to take pictures when she’s not aware
see what i mean?
and then her beloved Kenny showed up. and her basel was complete
