Rubell Family Collection in Wynwood, Miami

The Rubells’ cheekily titled show is presumably not a commentary on art collecting in a recession.

The Miami-based Rubell Family Collection mount their annual must-see Art Basel Miami Beach-timed show, inspired by Picasso’s quote, “Good artists borrow, great artists steal.”  Beg Borrow and Steal includes 260 artworks by 74 artists owned by the Rubells, and runs Dec. 2-May 29, 2010.

The idea for the show originated in 2005, during conversations between Don and Mera Rubell and artists Kelly Walker and Wade Guyton, who described how they had been influenced by previous generations of artists including Cady Noland, Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp and Richard Prince.

“While the question of artistic influence may not be new, what artists choose to beg, to borrow, or steal, and from whom, is distinct in that it becomes a reflection of their own time. Beg Borrow and Steal presents artists’ attempts to build on the legacies of their predecessors as they present their own ideas,” according to the  press release.
