Photography: Stripped naked...

is the theme of Ryan McGinley's latest photography collection, which was showcased at the Guggenheim's Young Artists Ball last night. McGinley's work is to say the least... risqué, but one cannot deny the powerful emotions his images project. So powerful... yet some of them are so serene... See for yourselves, here!

Street Art: Love in NYC

Our favorite sculpture of Robert Indiana is gaining all of the passengers' attention as it is decorated with the first snow of the season in the City. Indiana's iconic word "love" in upper-case letters was first published in 1964 for a Christmas card of MOMA. Since then, 14 such sculptures exist in various regions all over the United States, as well as a few of them located around the world. However, this one is by far our favorite since it is located just three streets away from its creator, the museum!

Fair: Art Basel Miami Beach

If art had a birthday, this would be it! From 6 to 9 of December art celebrates in Miami Beach on the biggest fair of its industry... A who's who of artists is been drafted annually during the three-day event, where emerging artists gain instantly a grand momentum. As the ASW magazine correctly notes "Art Basel Miami Beach is no ordinary art fair. It’s the pulsating tropical souk of the frenzied contemporary art market. And it’s a mega massive deal. It’s almost impossible to estimate how much art is sold since Basel is not the only art fair in town in early December, but in 2006 estimates suggest that the number was around $500 million".
