Art Basel 2017 painted again the town red and brought crowds from all over the world who indulged in its vibrant artsy spirit, world-class works of art and star-studded events.
Hosted at the Miami’s iconic Convention Center as usual, the event drew thousands of visitors who enjoyed various breath-taking works of art, including the ones presented by the Berlin art dealer Max Hetzler, with his showcase of brown and yellow abstracts, and Edward Tyler Nahem with his more colorful, rowdy collection from 2005.
One of the convention center’s highlights was Robert Rauschenberg’s “Periwinkle Shaft,” a five-panel installation of acrylic and wood, featuring animal images, mirrors and other peculiar objects.
For those who wanted to immerse in the world of contemporary art, Miami’s Red Dot had so much to offer. Among the eye-catching works of art were Gabriel and Angela Collazo‘s painting collection, featuring works of unique visual balance, fascinating texture and impeccable harmony.
Also incredibly unique was the art of the Spanish-German artist Daniel Marin, reflecting his multi-faceted, combined experience as a graphic designer, a jewelry designer and a painter.
