MIAMI- LAST DAYS TO VISIT THE HERNAN BAS EXHIBITION AT THE RUBELL MUSEUM

Since 1965, art has been a passion of the Rubell family, and in 1993, their passion became their mission with the opening of the Rubell Family Collection/Contemporary Art Foundation in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami, which pioneered a new model for sharing private collections with the public and spurred the development of the neighborhood as one of the leading art and design districts in the U.S.

Later on, the museum was renamed to underscore the Rubells’ dedication to serving as a public resource. Housed in six former industrial buildings that were connected and transformed by Selldorf Architects, the Museum allows the Rubells to present more of their collection than ever before.

Hernan Bas (b. 1978, Miami, FL / lives and works in Miami, FL, and Detroit, MI) is one of South Florida’s most celebrated artists. Bas’ work incorporates romantic and classical images, finding inspiration in fashion, Goth culture, and children’s mystery books, including The Hardy Boys. Produced in the early years of Bas' career, the drawings and paintings presented in this exhibition may be read as an allegory of the stages of human life from childhood to youth adolescence.
