MiMo Than Meets the Eye

Glamorous and over the top! Minimal and elegant! Stop, you’re both right! The dueling personalities of Miami Modern are the subject of an exhibition that opened Wednesday (and runs through April 13th) at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach. “Promises of Paradise” showcases mid-century Miami architecture, urban planning, design, and decorative arts, including work by such designers as Alfred Browning Parker, Morris Lapidus, George Farkas, Frederick Rank, and Fran Williams. “It is the first comprehensive exhibition on Miami modernism, and I think it will open some eyes about what Miami modernism was,” says writer, critic, and friend of UnBeige Thomas Hine, who curated the show with Miami architect Alan Shulman and Bass Museum curator Ruth Grim.
