November 27, 2008 by ArtJetSet

Housed in a large, newly converted warehouse in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami, the Marguleis Collection, brilliantly curated by Katherine Hinds, is a stunning survey of the best and most pivotal contemporary art, from the private collection of Mr. Martin Margulies. From Vik Muniz photos, to videos by Doug Aitkens, to installations by Ernesto Neto, to more traditional American Pop Art of George Segal and Oldenburg, the Margulies Collection is a must see.

It is really not that far out of the city, it is 3 stops east of the MoMA on the V train.From the exterior it looks like Art Jail, immense concrete walls that box in vast baren courtyards of gravel… you wonder who they are trying to keep out, or what they are trying to keep in.Each room of the interior, including the basement and the stairwells houses artworks.Norwegian artist Borre […]
