Best of Miami: Futura’s Favorites from Art Week

The artist Futura shares his highlights from Miami Art Week 2023, from showing at the main fair to meeting Wayne Gretzky.

As always, Miami Art Week was a total whirlwind of fairs, exhibitions, events, and late nights. So we’re taking some time (after catching up on sleep) to reflect on some of the best moments of Miami.

Whitewall caught up with the one-and-only FUTURA to hear about the Best of Miami for him. The artist was showing work at Jeffrey Deitch‘s booth at Art Basel Miami Beach and at a special Rocky’s Matcha pop-up at the Soho Beach House perfectly named Café con Futura.
