ARTmostfierce loved this show!
What a statement !
Look ...over the holidays, hop on a plane for a Miami weekend and see this 30 Americans show @ the Rubell Collection .While there between the sun, Spanish food and mojitos, also check out the Martin Margolis Collection too!
Who said there is no ART to be seen in Miami. These two families will prove you wrong!
Great Art collections!
