ArtBasel 2015 - TOP 5 Basel Events to Experience


Cue the base (singing) "Every day i'm Basel-ling..." With so many events popping up around town it's kind of hard to keep up with the who, what and where. Miami peeps go into full blown Art Fever the first week of December; it's our way of ringing in the Holidays...Miami style. It is said that Art ... "is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.In retrospect, Art is not only meant to be seen...but also... to be felt & experienced.

Here are my TOP 5 Basel Events to experience:



painting by R. Ricieri

An exhibition by the Italian/Brazilian born artist and his conceptual representation of his time in prison. He expresses his experiences and emotions through different artistic mediums, such as painting and sculptures. While incarcerated, Roberto Ricieri created over 1,000 works of art using using acrylic on canvas, along drawing with pencil and carbon. The artist Ricieri  just finished completing his sentence in June 2015 and will be sharing his story with Art lovers & collectors alike at the Ricieri Art studio.

"Art is the freest and fullest expression in the celebration of life! Full of excitement and color". -Roberto Ricieri
