George Voronovsky in Miami Beach: A Guide to the City in the Footsteps of an Artist
<p>Ukrainian-born self-taught artist George Voronovsky (1903–1982) — the subject of a current monographic <a href="https://high.org/exhibition/george-voronovsky/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">exhibition</a> at the High — lived in Miami Beach from 1972 until his death in 1982. Though he probably did not have the chance to sip $14 cocktails on a boutique hotel rooftop or attend an immersive art exhibition, Voronovsky would have recognized several of the stops on the <em>Times</em>’<em> </em>tour. The piece opens with a large photograph of Miami Beach’s Ocean Drive, site of the Colony Hotel where Voronovsky lived; suggests after-dinner drinks at Books & Books in Coral Gables, which opened just months before his death and where his art was shown for the first time in 1986; and recommends short-term rentals near Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, a favorite spot after he started visiting Miami in the 1950s and 1960s.</p>
