The city's latest and greatest


Basel!

I flew in for the afternoon to see Design Miami/Basel and the Fondation Beyeler and to have dinner at the Kunst Museum, which was hosting a talk by artist Matthew Barney. Here are some standout shots from the fair and from the Gerhard Richter show at Beyeler.

Next, I'm off to Naples to shoot a pilot video on crafts and craftsmen of the region; will surely send more pictures of my travels and adventures from there!
