| Attendees at June 3rd’s Average Joe Sale |
Miami Beach native Yuval Ofir recently opened a gallery called YO Space, an 800-square-foot gallery where he holds a monthly art event called the Average Joe Sale. Twelve artists sell original pieces, all for under $250.
Ofir’s hope is that these events will expose local artwork to those who can actually afford to buy it.
“Let’s face it,” he told The Miami Herald, “most of us can’t hand with the De La Cruz’s and Rubells of the world.”
One more person trying to spread beautiful things as far as they’ll reach.

Today Google’s homepage is “The Kiss,” commemorating the 150th birthday of Austrian painter Gustav Klimt. My sister actually gave me a print of this painting for my birthday last year, but I hung it horizontally on accident and all my friends made fun of me. But I ended up liking it better that way, because I’d rather the couple be cuddling and laying down than on a hillside that ends after her feet for no reason. I don’t think Klimt would have minded that I hung it the wrong way. But they do look better standing on Google’s page.
Check out some Klimt history in the Christian Science Monitor’s article on this 150th celebration.
