This film is the first in a series of documentaries dedicated to the Miami contemporary art scene and its protagonists. It follows the creative and personal experiences of the young, successful painter Hernan Bas (Miami, 1978) over 18 months, beginning with the opening of his solo show at the Rubell Family Collection on the occasion of 2007 Art Basel Miami Beach and finishing with his important 2009 retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum of New York. It includes interviews with collectors and various experts who explain the reasons behind his quick rise to fame. Bas’s work was included in the project The Collectors, created for the Danish and Northern Countries Pavilions at the 2009 Venice Biennale and is the winner of a Jury’s Special Mention.
