Monday Morning Photo(s) Miami Edition
For today’s Monday Morning Photos, we have a look at the world’s premier Modern and contemporary art fairs, staged annually in Basel, Miami Beach, and Hong Kong. A driving force in supporting the role that galleries play in nurturing the careers of their artists, Art Basel frequently expands its platforms to include the newest developments in the visual arts. Last week Art Basel Miami caught our attention over social media because of the great amount of art we kept seeing, from fine art and sculpture to furniture and lighting, Miami was the place to be. Here are some of our favorite artist:
German artist Tobias Rehberger has used colorful tiles to create pornographic mosaics inside a booth at Art Basel Miami Beach.
Presented by Swiss museum Fondation Beyeler, the installation is titled 1661-1910 from Nagasaki, Meiji, Setti.
Mexican architect Fernando Romero has created a glowing ball of 2,880 crystals accompanied by a soundtrack of noises made by the sun.
Fernando Romero’s El Sol installation, commissioned by crystal company Swarovski, contains a sphere of LEDs that change color in response to a video stream of the sun provided by NASA.

A group of students from the Harvard Graduate School of Design has built a temporary entrance pavilion from architectural models outside the Design Miami fair.
Called Unbuilt, the pavilion consists of a grid of poles supporting upside down models of student work from the school’s architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and planning programs.
Architects Zaha Hadid and Patrik Schumacher have designed a dining pavilion shaped like an open clam shell.
Hadid and Schumacher’s team used computational design to create the pavilion, which is constructed from laser-cut and perforated steel surfaces, aluminium box sections and timber loops.
