The King of Pop is back. No, not Michael Jackson — Andy Warhol. The white-wigged godfather of pop art and celebrity culture, who passed away in 1987, is the subject of three exhibits and an influence on two others at various events around Art Basel Miami Beach.
On tap this week is a screening of San Diego Surf, a-never-before-released film shot by Warhol and Paul Morrissey in 1968, at a VIP party at The Standard Spa on Thursday, sponsored by Interview Magazine, the publication launched by Warhol.

Occupy Art Basel Miami Beach, Now!
I’m not going to Art Basel Miami Beach this year. I’m through with it, basta. It’s become a bit embarrassing, in fact, because why should I be seen rubbing elbows with all those phonies and scenesters, people who don’t even pretend they are remotely interested in art?
And so, here it is, in print, just so no one has to ask me again.
Noon - 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday; noon - 6 p.m. Sunday. Miami Beach Convention Center, 1901 Convention Center Dr., Miami Beach. One-day ticket $40 (students and seniors, $23); run of fair pass $85; evening ticket (valid from 4 p.m.), $28. www.artbasel.com.
