Art Basel - Miami

a selection of Gustabo's photos from Art Basel - Miami

Gustabo gives us a snap shot of the latest Art Basel: Miami event, with some photos to illustrate the great time he had! 'Art Basel stages the world's premier Modern and contemporary art shows, held annually in Basel, Miami Beach, and Hong Kong. Founded by gallerists in 1970, Art Basel has been a driving force in supporting the role that galleries play in the nurturing of artists, and the development and promotion of visual arts.'

Gustabo says "It's filled with non-stop shows, people, parties, installations, promotions, films and events. It's a paradise for artists and art seekers alike. It has heaping portions of art fair with a sideshow of Electric Circus that has to be seen to be believed. The perfect storm of art, celebrity and commerce. The worlds eyes, ears and purse strings descend on Miami for 5 days and if you have something to show, want to be seen and/or heard, then this is the place !

From the Karl Lagerfeld / Marina Abromovich opening party, Pulse, Scope, PAMM, Jeff Koons, Louis Vuitton's La Maison au Bord de L'eau (at the Raleigh Hotel's beach front), Kanye West, Marilyn Minter and A Rod to the graffiti walls of Wynwood, whew!… to name a few, it was sensory overload!"

That Yucky Love Thing

is the title of an enchanting new children's book by Michael Catchpool featuring wonderful illustration work by Victoria Ball.

Commissioned by Paula Burgess at Gullane, the book recounts the tale of young Sam and his attempts to escape the "yucky hugging and kissing he sees everywhere he looks". Says Victoria: "It was a really fun book to work on. The team had clear ideas on the illustrations but I was still allowed lots of creative freedom.
