Breakfast in the Park at the Frost Art Museum during Art Basel

Join us on Sunday, December 7, 2014 from 9:3oam – 12noon with guest speaker and noted sculptor, Daniel Arsham. The New York-based artist was raised in Miami, his work straddles the line between art, architecture and performance. Arsham attended the Cooper Union in New York City where he received the Gelman Trust Fellowship Award in 2003. He is a contemporary American artist whose work explores issues such as natural-versus-manufactured and intention-versus-happenstance.

The Frost’s Annual Breakfast in the Park offers guests a complimentary outdoor breakfast, plus informal lectures and guided tours of the Sculpture Park and the exhibitions inside the museum. The event draws hundreds of art enthusiasts, patrons, collectors, gallery owners and artists from around the world – many of whom are visiting Miami for Art Basel. The Sculpture Park at Florida International University includes a variety of artistic styles and movements situated throughout 26 acres of lush, subtropical landscape:  Abstract-Expressionism, Constructivism, Minimalism, Conceptualism, Earthworks, and Kinetic Art. Forty-four works include sculptures by John Henry, Linda Howard, Alexander Liberman, Barbara Neijna, Michele Oka Doner, Joel Perlman, Robert Thiele, Steve Tobin and Arnold Zimmerman.
