Here are a few pics from my fun excursion yesterday touring the SEAFAIR, a breathtaking 228 foot mega-yacht docked for a few days at Marina Jack's in downtown Sarasota.
Onboard, I (along with the other 5,000 visitors of the day) browsed through thirty international galleries, three floors of them, featuring awesome contemporary art and awed viewers.
There was lots of fabulous traditonal art, lithographs by Matisse, Dali, Picasso, Miro and on and on. Lots of stunning glass including a nice representation of Chihuly's smaller works. There were many unique venues including the projects (installations) in image below, inspired by the artist having spent a year in the cloud forests of Venezeula. Click images to enlarge!
The piece below was carved from a phone book.
Browse with me for a bit......
The artwork is small but the big cast shadow was really neat.
When my feet and eyes felt weary, I took a break on the sky deck (4th floor via elevators) where sushi, sake, green tea, cocktails and desserts were being served, along with a magnificent view of the Sarasota bayfront.
That's it folks. Hope you enjoyed the tour. Let me know what you thought of it and what turned you "on" or "off."
As it says on my blog's banner, "Living creatively in Paradise!" As Ina Garten says, "Now, how bad could that be?"
Hugs, Marcy
