All satire was lost on the titler of Ben Davis’s Art Basel report. “Art Basel in Miami Beach 2014 is a Rip-Roaring Success” is a tongue-in-cheek Hunter S. Thompson-like view of the fair and its inanities. Referring to the fair as “the Maze,” Davis asks, “Who are these people? They wander in a distracted state, and appear happily lost in the space. Though the Maze experience seems to be the main draw, there is also a huge and growing market for Maze memorabilia, as these people buy up the puzzles from the Maze, to recreate part of the experience in their own homes for friends or mates.” This whole fair is a cultural vacuum, and nobody should be expected to come up with things to say about it.

“It’s a problem that I work in a profession that capitalizes on how cool it is to be black until it’s not cool to be black. If Kehinde Wiley decided to make black men killed by #damngoodcops the subject of his next portrait series, the art world would care.Wiley’s dealers would rightfully sell his works as the important documents of our time — and they’d make a pretty penny. Curators and critics would praise the series as an important reflection of this turbulent moment in American history. My colleagues would tell the media that an exhibition of his work is the most important statement about racism today. Unfortunately, racism doesn’t only exist when white people want to acknowledge and benefit from it.” [Hyperallergic]

Former billionaire and famed ponzie scheme artist Bernie Madoff will watch his art sold off at auction this fall. It seems he wasn’t a huge lover of the arts. The combine value of the 61 works of art to be sold off totals $575,000. The collection even includes the Roy Lichtenstein “Bull Profile Series”, a suite that constantly came up for auction back in the days when I used to work at galleries (2001-2005). Everyone I knew made fun of that series for its terribleness. [Bloomberg]
