Artist Beach Towels by Ami Kealoha

A huge hit at the Deitch/Paper store that took place last week in Miami during Art Basel, these artist-designed beach towels ($50) are for those who want to wrap themselves in art. Featuring works by Alex Katz, Marilyn Minter, Richard Phillips and Rob Pruitt (pictured above from L-R), the towels are gigantic (measuring 60"x70"), soft and the colors look great in terry cloth. Though they're currently sold out at Target, you can try your luck faxing an order form to the non-profit behind the project, Works On Whatever.

Lou Zhenhong
While there was a plethora of talent on view at this year's Art Asia fair in Miami, I was particularly drawn to the sculptures of Lou Zhenhong at the Contemporary by Angela Li booth.

Their faces distorted, twisted...
Without You Baby, There Ain't No Us
One of my favorite installations at this year's Scope Miami was "Without You Baby, There Ain't No Us," a special Scope project by Comenius Reothlisberger and Admir Jahic of The Invisible Heroes. Fascinated with the YouTube phenomenon, Comenius and Admir have created a series of drawings on handmade paper which document a variety of videos, from the utterly absurd (a video featuring an animated potato)...
PULSE Art Fair Miami 2008
The PULSE Contemporary Art Fair, which was conceived to bridge the gap between larger, more established fairs and experimental counterparts like NADA, had a particularly strong collection of artists on exhibit this year. Kenneth Tin-Kin Hun recently embarked on a series of artwork documenting the presidency of Barack Obama. A vibrant mash-up of political figures and corporate logos, "HOPE he can CHANGE this shit!" (above)...
NADA Art Fair Miami 2008
NADA (New Art Dealers Alliance), the small but relatively well-established fair known for its more raw, youthful energy has really come into its own this year. (Images above by RISD grad Ara Peterson, represented by Ratio 3.) If I had to pick my favorite at Art Basel Miami Beach this year, this would be the one. From the art itself to the fresh-faced exhibitors...
