Miami's Unexpected New Art Destination || via Architectural Digest

There's certainly no shortage of good art in Miami. From the lauded Perez Museum, which celebrated its third anniversary this fall, to the Rubell Family Collection to the annual Miami Basel fair, during which the art-world elite descends on the Florida city for a week of art and parties, Miami has emerged in the past few years as a destination for the arts. This week the city will add to its portfolio with the opening of four public artworks along the impending Underline, a public park and recreation space below Miami's Metrorail masterminded by James Corner Field Operations, the same firm behind New York’s beloved High Line. Miami-based artists Bhakti Baxter, Naomi Fisher, Nicolas Lobo, and Agustina Woodgate have been selected to create the Underline's first round of temporary artworks, opening January 14.

Fashion Designer Tommy Hilfiger’s Vibrant Home in Miami || via Architectural Digest

The great American graphic designer Milton Glaser once declared, "There are three responses to a piece of design—yes, no, and wow! Wow is the one to aim for." Tommy and Dee Hilfiger apparently endorse that notion. The fashion mogul and his wife have planted their flag on a glorious stretch of beachfront just north of Miami with a home defined by spectacular moments, whimsical flourishes, and astonishing coups de théâtre. In this case wow! might be an understatement.
