Miami started with an unbelievable Apéro at The Raleigh. Free food & drinks in an nice atmosphere- no need so say more… My  little art tour actually started already in NY with a visit of the New Museum and the MoMA, where I took some of the pics. The ART Basel Miami was very impressive but actually it seems, that I was rather people watching than I had the completion of looking at the pieces. And there where many people and a lot of art everywhere. It is kind of a family affair to be a Stones fan. How lucky we where, that there was a photo exhibition with previously undisclosed tour photos of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones at the Betsy Hotel. There was also a lot going on at the Design District ; different spaces and ateliers showed their work and outside performances. Like our friends from the Ping-Pong Gallery in Basel who had a pop-up gallery. There I fell in love with two pictures. And then, another night with art, music and free drinks.
Miami is fun during these special days but besides that I didn’t took that many impressions home. But as soon as I got home I bought myself the two pieces from Sue Irion – as a nice memory and a good start for my collection.
