Wander the Rubell Museum
The Rubells created their collection by looking at art, talking with artists, and trusting their instincts. They started collecting 54 years ago, amassing a widespread array of nearly 7,200 works by more than 1,000 artists. Since the beginning, the Rubells have focused on finding artists early in their careers and those who have been overlooked. They were among the first to acquire work by renowned contemporary artists, supporting them at a critical moment in their careers, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Cecily Brown, Keith Haring, Rashid Johnson, Hayv Kahraman, Jeff Koons, William Kentridge, Yoshitomo Nara, Cindy Sherman, and Mickalene Thomas, among others.
The Rubell Museum's a former warehouse the couple turned into a sprawling exhibition space after outgrowing their Wynwood gallery of more than 26 years. With 53,000 square feet to play with, the Rubells have room to exhibit as well as engage the community via school partnerships and curatorial training programs. Once you’re tired of browsing, head to the museum’s splashy Basque restaurant, Leku for an equally arty spread.
