I like the art fairs in Miami, but I have to be honest a few things are starting to irritate me. These tend to be small but they are becoming an issue. Here\u2019s a quick run down of a few of my least favorite things.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Courtesy of the Art Newspaper, a collector claims, \u201cYour yacht becomes more interesting with a Hirst on it.\u201d I have nothing more to say.<\/li>\n
  2. Dear City of Miami schools \u2013 ABMB is really not where you should be taking your students for a field trip and it\u2019s clear \u2013 a number of schools think this is a good idea. I\u2019m waiting to hear the outcry about a sensitive minor going face to face with a really adult Mapplethorpe.<\/li>\n
  3. Someone is always boycotting something \u2013 this time it\u2019s the \u201cArt Critic\u201d Adam Lindenmann. His \u201ccrusade\u201d? Fighting the fact that dealers send out jpegs to potential buyers before the show. He promised to boycott the show \u2013 of course he folded like a house of cards before the general opening at noon on Thursday.<\/li>\n
  4. I think the big show really misses Deitch Projects.<\/li>\n
  5. I\u2019m seeing a trend of art schools taking booth space at the satellite fairs \u2013 I\u2019m not sold on this strategy, and have a hard time in the long run if this is such a good idea. I think the schools see value and the students see exposure \u2013 speaking for myself, I\u2019m glad no one has seen the work I did right after college.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
