A MAJESTIC SWIM
WITH LICHTENSTEIN
Miami Beach residents have long embraced the value of public art and have
championed the commissioning of large-scale projects. In 1979, residents
joined together to commission one of Miami Beachs most defining works
of public art: pop artist Roy Lichtensteins iconic Mermaid located at the
Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater.
Funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, matched
dollar for dollar by Miami Beach art aficionados, Mermaid is historically
regarded as the artists first public art commission. Lichtenstein, who defined
the premise of pop art through parody, is celebrated along with Andy
Warhol, Jasper Johns and James Rosenquist as the founders of the pop art
movement. At the time of the commission, Lichtenstein and his wife, Dorothy,
owned a home in Miami Beach.

Morris
1100 Block, Lincoln Road
CARNIVAL ON LINCOLN
Dan Grahams project for the pedestrian-friendly plans of Lincoln Road
mimics the kidney shape of the 1950s Miami Beach hotel swimming
pools. Providing a place for children to play, Morris was made with
families in mind. The pavilions form is more baroque than minimal as
people move, their bodies are distended and in motion.
The pavilions surfaces are made up of concave and convex lenses being
simultaneously reflective and transparent. They mirror an anamorphic
fun-house reflection of people inside perceiving themselves and others
superimposed on people outside.

El proyecto de Dan Graham para la nueva zona peatonal de Lincoln
Road tiene la forma de rin que solan tener las piscinas de Miami
Beach en la dcada de 1950. La pieza de arte Morris fue diseada
teniendo en cuenta a las familias y es un lugar para que los nios
jueguen. La forma de este pabelln es ms barroca que minimalista; a
medida que la gente se mueve, sus cuerpos se reflejan distendidos y
en movimiento.
The project is specifically a 200 square-foot ground level glass tile mosaic.
The design is bright and carefully constructed with thousands of pieces of
glass tiles set upon a concrete base.

FORCE OF NATURE
For his painting, Bringing the Beach Inside, Roberto Juarez combed Miami
Beach for forms and objects, and glued beach sand to the surface of the
work in seaweed shapes. Relating the piece to its previous residence, the
Miami Beach Police Station, he included images of a policemans shield,
handcuffs and gun, all embedded in the colors and shapes of nature. The
artwork currently lives in the Tourism, Culture & Economic Development
Department located in City Hall.
Juarez works and lives in New York City and Miami Beach. His works are
included in a number of public collections including the Brooklyn Museum,
the Metropolitan Museum of Art and El Museo del Barrio in New York.

wooden boards are laid on the pier.
Mi concepto para la pieza South Pointe Park Pier gate fue convertirla
en una especie globo de dilogo que desencadena el diseo de la
propia puerta, afirma Rehberger. El globo de dilogo es un elemento
visual que ha aparecido en repetidas ocasiones en muchas de mis

Allowing the obstinate lighthouse to establish a visual dialog with the pier,
Rehberger links eloquent south pointe park pier gate to the beacon to give
a gregarious personality to thepark.
My concept for the South Pointe Park Pier gate was to make it into
a speech bubble, which triggers the design of the gate itself, shared
Rehberger. The speech bubble is a visual element that has repeatedly
appeared in several of my works in order to make inanimate objects
speak and have almost become a hallmark for my projects. In this case, it
is used to have the pier introduce itself to its visitors.
When the gate is open, the speech bubble playfully sits on top of the
archway of the gate, which is painted in the same bright colors that have
developed as the artists signature palette.
The graphic pattern of the gate symbolizes sound waves spreading from
the speech bubble and can also be read as a reference not only to optical eloquent south pointe park pier gate

Director Ivannia Van Arman. The BIDs Block by Block beautification initiative will supplement the citys efforts and
provide proactive services that will create an experience worth sharing.
The district improvement program delivers customized, first-class hospitality, cleaning, safety and outreach to downtown
improvement districts all over the country. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the program provides services to districts in
Houston, San Francisco, Detroit and 85 other cities across the U.S.

about the area, offer recommendations and give tips about new openings and events. They also help keep Lincoln Road
beautiful by taking care of cosmetic issues such as litter, graffiti, weeds and trash - communicating volumes about the
districts pride.
Neighbors and guests on Lincoln Road can identify ambassadors by looking for their black and
white uniforms displaying the Lincoln Road logo and classic Blue Notes white Panama hats.
Ambassador hours are 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, with staffing heightened on high traffic
