For her exhibition at the Fondation Cartier, Brazilian born artist Beatriz Milhanes presents a focused selection of large format acrylic paintings, chosen from her work of the past decade, as well as a monumental collage created especially for the show. She was also commissioned to produce a monumental installation of the building’s glass facades. Beatriz Milhanes emerged on the Brazilian art scene in the mid-1980s. Her vibrant and colorful paintings intertwine colonial baroque, high modernism, and popular Brazilian art. Her bold and bright installations play with natural light to compliment the architecture of Jean Nouvel and the surrounding garden.

“THE Art Basel convention in Miami this week has drawn planeloads of hard-partying New Yorkers. Tonight, Condé Nast and jeans company 7 for All Mankind co-host an event at the Ice House, while Cartier serves dinner at the Botanical Gardens and Jimmy Choo pours for the fashionistas at the Raleigh. Dennis Hopper will be at the Russia Miami exhibit organized by Jana Bullock and Hugo Boss. Tomorrow, Vanity Fair and MoMA hold a bash at the Shore Club, while Linda Evangelista hosts a dance party with Visionaire at the Florida Room. On Saturday, the event’s closing night, Russell Simmons and Allison Weiss Brady throw a benefit for the Rush Philanthropic Organization at Intermix, as Adidas stages a Y3 event in the design district. But the big invites for Saturday are the private dinner at Paul Wilmot‘s home and the soiree for Julian Schnabel and Lou Reed‘s flick “Berlin” at Set.”
