Art Is Everywhere This Week In South Florida

MIAMI (CBSMiami) - From Pink Beasts that hang above the Palm Court in the Miami Design District to a giant gorilla at The Raleigh garnered on South Beach and so so much more.

Art is everywhere this week in South Florida and we begin with those pink sloths, designed by Fernando Laposse in the Miami Design District and Craig Robbins the man who had the vision to create this high-end art-driven shopping destination.

"This is touchable art. Everyone can go layout and layout in the hammocks and take a selfie. Everyone loves them and we're proud," said Robins.

Walk through the Design District, where there's something on every corner. You can see filmmaker Harmonie Korine's installation that was shot through limited-edition Gucci glasses that has a wearable 3D lens on them. Every moving image on the walls was shot through the glasses.

Craig also shows us artists Virgil Abloh's "Dollar A Gallon" sculpture presenting a window into the artist's study and research of the effect of advertising.

Cars are also art, as Prestige Imports brings Pagani's "The Celebration of a Dream" exhibit to Miami Design District in a pop-up.

The racy presentation, featuring multi-million dollar showpieces showcases Horacio Pagani's journey to the realization of his dream through motorized art.

Now over to South Beach, to The Sagamore Hotel's presentation of "I'm not a Trophy," that's dedicated to endangered species, trophy hunting, poaching, and indigenous cultures. The artist is French artist and wildlife photographer Arno Elias.
