MIAMI Art Basel This fair has become a major event for art-world players who want to view what's new, including works like The Beatles (below) by Vladimir Dubossarsky and Alexander Vinogradov...
...cool, thoroughly modern wit. In alphabetical order, then, to avoid billing squabbles, portrait sketches of the three: ALTYNAI ASYLMURATOVA. ''She was an Oriental beauty, and she dreamed of lying in bed being fanned--a modern Scheherazade. And so I bit her.'' That is Kirov Artistic Director Oleg Vinogradov's fanciful way of explaining how he put iron willpower into his prize ballerina. Asylmuratova (Ah-sil-mu-rah- tova) has an expansive, luscious quality.

...Vinogradov, at the height of his orbit, was ferried around Moscow in an armored convoy. His movements resembled military maneuvers. No more. He was spotted recently on a main Moscow thoroughfare-on foot and alone. Malevich lovers, at home and abroad, now worry that the same fate-obscurity-awaits the most alluring gems of the fallen oligarch's treasure trove...
