ART WATCH
If you
like art with a sense of humor, stroll by Pierre Marcel's gallery on Espanola Way in South Beach any weekend night. What,

back in 30 minutes. There will be a new show. All night long. Marcel,

the evening. And has fun doing it.

into perfect lace edge lifted up as though one might
be able to peek under it. |
All work old, new or in progress, is for sale. Prices range from a dollar for postcard reproductions to thousands for large canvases. Marcel, born near Giverny, France came here in 1986, at 32...
