Took a self-guided walking tour of American Beach, Took a self-guided walking tour of American Beach, Florida today, right down the road from where I live on @visitameliaisland. As the 1st purpose built resort for Blacks in @visitflorida and one of only around South, it is a legendary location in the story of America’s Civil Rights movement.

But time and gentrification have been hard on the historic community there. Evans Rendezvous, where Cab Calloway and Ray Charles played, is boarded up and crumbling. Duck’s Hotel and Restaurant is condemned. Feet from them are million dollar homes.

NaNa Dune remains, the tallest dune in Florida, as does Little NaNa Dune, recently acquired for conservation by @nflandtrust. To support NFLT’s acquisition of Little NaNa, visit its website and click the link to “donate” for the “Amelia Forever” campaign. 

American Beach is rich in history, wildlife and possibility. Visit. Think. Imagine.

The bits and pieces of refuse the artist applies to make his work creates a pointillist effect. I dig pointillism and color and this piece of found object artwork.

Boafo may be the hottest name in contemporary art. One look at his paintings and you’ll see why. 

Fascinating, swirling surfaces where the “hand” - and fingers - of the artist are visible everywhere, drawing you in, mesmerizing, looking as intently at you as you are it.

Boafo worked as the Rubell’s artist-in-residence in 2019 and a handiful of his instantly iconic pictures are on view there now. A rare treat. With his market soaring and collectors gobbling them up, his work may be priced out of museums before they can acquire.

I’ll be writing about this more in depth for Forbes this week. Scroll to end for harrowing story of incident that inspired this work.

Sadly, the themes addressed long ago continue resonating today.

Museum of Graffiti is a block from Wynwood Walls and packs a wallop for a small space. Make sure it’s on your @miamiandbeaches itinerary.
“The Real Surreal” exhibition curated by @marc “The Real Surreal” exhibition curated by @marcelkatzart @theartplug wrapping up at @theconfidante in @miamiandbeaches. Get there before it closes.

Highlight is Salvador Dali’s large-scale bronze “Saint George and the Dragon” sculpture, number 7 of 7, once residing in the Vatican, $1.3M.

Featured in hotel lobby are paintings by @grabster and @tiagomagro.
What have I missed most about visiting art museums What have I missed most about visiting art museums? Discovery. Discovering new artists like I did in @miamiandbeaches with Misheck Masamvu.

I was blown away by her painting at @elespacio23 (last picture behind floor installation) and then I saw her work again at @pamm. Same sensation. 

The dynamic color and aggressive paint handling brought me in, the painting’s turmoil and depth kept me around. Brilliant artist I will not forget.
