His pics (see the full set here.) also gives a quick little preview of what is to be a colossal show at […]

Preview: Art Basel Week Miami ’09 – Mark Moore x Kenichi Yokono

Posted by AM Editor, November 30, 2009

Los Angeles’ Mark Moore Gallery sent us a few preview images of works by Japanese artist Kenichi Yokono that will be shown at their booth at Pulse Miami 09.

Since then, Yokono has shown several times with Mark Moore […]
