An article in the Sunday NYT Arts section (12/16/17) profiled art collector Beth Rudin DeWoody. Her Bunker Artspace is located in a residential area in West Palm Beach and is just 2 miles down the road from Mar-a-Logo. She believes that “art should be provocative” this is borne out by exhibits that include an x-rated area, a controversial image of the crucifixion and a doll-sized sculpture of Charles Manson on a playdate. Quite an outlier institution in an otherwise conservative community. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/15/arts/design/mar-a-lago-has-a-feisty-new-neighbor.html?_r=0
One of the pieces I found most interesting was by Jeff Colson. I mistook it for a big luscious trompe l’oeil painting, but it is actually a sculpture. This video of him building it is worth a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDg8p53NZJA
