A view of the Bass and Sylvie Fleury's Eternity Now (2015) from Collins Park.

An exterior view of a beige stone building with palm trees lining a concrete pathway leading to the entrance, and the words “ETERNITY NOW” displayed on the facade under a blue sky.

The Bass Museum announced recently that Philippe Vergné—who has run museums from Marseille to Minneapolis to Los Angeles and, since 2019, Porto’s Serralves—would soon arrive in Miami Beach as the institution’s first artistic director and chief curator.
