Part traveling art installation, part ornamental manicure center, part companion experience to Standard Press’ latest and greatest, Nailed, The Imperial Nail Salon at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach was––and we’re not just saying this––the talk of Art Basel 2011. The retro-bling vision is courtesy of Carlos Rolon (aka Dzine, the author of Nailed) who transformed one of our suites into the spitting image of his mother’s living room nail salon circa 1975. Here’s how The New York Timesdescribed it: “The sight of a fastidious Tilda Swinton showing off a baroque finger corsage and coordinating nails in a setting straight out of ‘That ’70s Show’ was jarring — indeed, one of the crazier visions unveiled at Art Basel Miami Beach last week.” It should not go unmentioned that to stand out as, “crazy” among the 500,000 or so works of original art on display during the fair, is, well, impressive to say the very least.
