FLORIDA---Crowds had already descended on the SCOPE Miami tent on the beach by the time the fair threw open its doors for the VIP preview at noon on Tuesday. Within the bright white tent with stunning views of the green ocean and bright sands was a wide array of vibrantly colored art, heavy with a street-art aesthetic, including text and neon, as well as large-scale, bold—frequently flashy—works. One case in point: a pink-neon looped mirror with the word "Selfie" in pink neon-tubed script above it, shown at the booth MORDEKAI by Ken Borochov. [link]
