At American Fine Arts we believe in artistic success—even building empires.
Artist Daniel Arsham was recently named creative director of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
When he was just 12 years old, Daniel Arsham had a near-death experience. Living in Florida with his parents, Hurricane Andrew struck in 1992, careening across the coastal state and taking with it Arsham’s family house—ripping the roof off, tearing the walls apart at the seams, and sending pink fluffy insulation flying. The house was rebuilt soon after, but the traumatic experience and ensuing weeks of living in a “pre-civilization” state left an indelible imprint on Arsham.
