Art Basel Artists to Watch
Will you be attending any of the Art Basel events this weekend? This fourteenth incarnation of the event is better and bigger than ever, spilling over from Miami Beach to a multitude of art-related events in Miami’s Wynwood and Midtown neighborhoods. With so much art to see and enjoy, you’re going to need to make some time to check it all out, but there are a couple of artists you may want to keep an eye out for.
Guadalajara-based artist Jose Dávila’s popularity is so strong, his pieces can sell in just a few minutes. One of his intriguing pieces titled “Untitled (M-maybe)” depicts American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein’s painting of a woman with her face removed. This piece was sold for more than $30,000 and his sculptures have commanded over $40,000.
A great feature of Art Basel is its ability to showcase global up and coming artists to new audiences. Artist Yto Barrada of Morocco is currently exhibiting her photography and “Faux Guide” installation at the Carré d’Art in France and you’ll be able to admire some of her artwork right here in Miami Beach during Art Basel.
Belgian artist Harold Ancart made the news when he drove to and from New York and Los Angeles in his car, using his trunk as a makeshift studio and drawing some of the sights he came upon along the way. His work has been featured in the Museum of Modern Art and will also be on display at Art Basel.
