Nude as Muse

The ultimate MUSE? A nude. Of course.

A supposed highlight (I wasn't there) at Miami Art Basel this year was "The Nude as Muse" event conceived by Brooke Geahan. Vanessa Beecroft's performance piece put 14 nude women in the pool at The Standard. "Miami is a sexy hot town, where a lot of skin gets shown," said Geahan, "but no one has ever done an event here that focused on the nude, which is the ultimate muse for art."
