Art Basel Miami Beach week: The Saturday report

The day started with the usual gorgeous view from my friends' condo and then it went bananas from there... cough... cough...

Saturdays are usually the busiest days at the planet's primary art venue week... today Pulse debuted a discussion panel in Spanish, with me, blue chip artist Sandra Ramos and art consultant Tessie Penin.

The subject of the discussion was my now over 10-year-old discussion "On Identity in the Arts: What does it mean to be Latino/a?" and it went really well, with Ramos and Penin adding really substantial points to this issue.


As it had been doing for the first two days, Michael Janis' main piece in the fair was receiving a lot of attention, and by the end of the night, two separate art consultants had placed it in their list to showcase to their clients.

The wall of drawings of unfired Bisque kept selling well throughout the day as well... and I re-arranged it to shrink it a little...
