Come this weekend, you’ll probably be well past your gag limit on good art. Take a well-deserved break from gawking at inanimate objects by ogling what we were all meant to ogle — Playboy babes. Okay, so they are hopeful Playboy lingerie models, but that’s even better for delusional horn-dogs…
With all its skulls and sparkles, Art Basel is dangerously close to resembling an Ed Hardy T-shirt. Those were two big trends we saw at yesterday’s Basel Vernissage as we gawked at 2,000 artists and weaved between celebrity land mines such as Isabella Rossellini and Michael Stipe. Thankfully, the fair’s…

A cheap lead for this story might’ve included a Beatles song reference or the name John Lennon. But that’d be unfair to Julian Lennon, the remarkable photographer behind “Timeless,” a collection of 30 hand-signed portraiture and landscape photographs edited by the artist himself. Lennon recently debuted his critically acclaimed work…
Art Basel satellite fairs just might be badder than the main event
Thinking about skipping out on the Basel pretension by spending a few days submerged in mud at the Standard Spa? Well, look for an escape elsewhere, because the boutique hotel is just as infected with the Basel bug. And just in time for Art Basel, The Standard Miami Beach is…
