Mondoblogoites:Sorry for the delays in posting....Lots of minor problems getting in my way,but I am finally back in action!Here are some, just a few, maybe just part one of some of my personal pics
from Art Basel and the surrounding satellite fairs.Just things that made me stop and want to take a picture.There was so much amazing art,and I could have picked sensational or weird or shocking or even bad art,but instead, I just went with things I liked,for whatever reason....Roy Lichtenstein"Untitled"(Swiss Cheese Doors)1980sI heard several people say this was their favorite piecein the show... I wouldn't go that far,but it is pretty special.This was at Jessica BradleyArt + Projectsat NADA.Don't know who the artist is, tried to google it,nuthin'.I like it though.UPDATE:A reader gave me the artists name and a link to more work in the comments section.He believes it is:UPDATE #2:It IS:Derek Sullivan"Stack"2004
