A Few Final Images of Art Shenanigans in Miami
Perry Rubenstein looked more like a big-wave surfer than a gallerist when I saw him at Art Positions, a gathering of freight containers turned into mini-galleries on the beach. He was showing South African artist Robin Rhode's large homage to the all-time heavyweight champion of the world. Miami was where Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammed Ali. Perry's in the striped trunks.
It is my opinion that it's difficult for an older man to carry off long hair, but this gentleman shows that, with a good tan and a good tailor, it is possible.
This look somehow works in Miami. Note the hairline.
Writers Linda Yablonski, the Liz Smith of Artforum, and Bill Powers, sometimes editor of Black Book. I love Bill's blazer. It resembles Thom Browne, but I suspect it was made by Bill's wife, the designer Cynthia Rowley.
Jack Pierson signed his new book at a party thrown by his gallery, Cheim & Read. They were pouring a nice wine, and I had a few. Jack may have too, inspiring the way he wore his hat. Of which I thought I heard him say, "Oh no, you can't take that away from me."
Artist/businessman Andy Spade, of the Kate/Jack Spade empire, with photographer Patrick McMullan and friend. This was taken at 2 A.M. at the Delano. After this, Patrick forced us to march to the Raleigh, where the bar was still open, and stay until it closed. And I don't remember anything that happened after that in Miami.
