The Bass Museum of Art, one of Miami Beach’s key cultural landmarks, pays homage to Steve Jobs, co-founder and former CEO of Apple, Inc., by prominently displaying Apple, a 38 X 38 inch silkscreen piece created by pop artist Andy Warhol. In light of Jobs’ recent death, the museum decided to honor the American inventor by sharing one of its contemporary works with its visitors. Warhol’sApple is part of the artist’s famous 1985 Ads Portfolio which also includes works featuring brands such as Paramount, Chanel and Volkswagen.

George Lindemann Jr., President of the Board of Directors of the Bass Museum of Art, is a fan of both men. "Apple represents the work of two creative geniuses who are no longer physically with us, yet remain very present," adds Lindemann.

Andy Warhol’s Apple is a piece of artwork from the permanent collection of the Bass Museum of Art and will be on view inside the museum’s new Chad Oppenheim designed lobby through Saturday, November 5, 2011. For more information, please visitwww.bassmuseum.org

IDEA@thebass

    IDEA@thebass

    IDEA@thebass Stands for Identify, Discuss, Envision, Assess. IDEA@thebass uses art to stimulate the critical thinking skills of children between the ages of 3 and 10. This program is based on a method of problem-solving that has been created by the Bass Museum of Art in conjunction with Stanford University’s acclaimed Hasso Platner Institute of Design.

    How do IDEA@thebass lessons work? The instructor shows students a picture of a work of art. The class then follows this four-step process:

    • Identify – Children describe what they see in the picture and respond to a “need” or challenge posed by the teacher.
    • Discuss – Students brainstorm and come up with ideas to solve the challenge.
    • Envision – Working alone or in teams, students create a “prototype” or model using pencils and paper, or all sorts of inexpensive found material.
    • Assess – Students explain their work to their classmates, who will ask questions and make suggestions.
