Actor James Franco opined on his passion for performance art last week in the Wall Street Journal, revealing that his recent stint playing an artist inventively named “Franco” on the soap opera “General Hospital” wasn’t just any old gig, but was in fact a subversive conceptual art piece. Franco is in Miami this weekend, launching a new fragrance line for Gucci at ABMB haunt the Shore Club. Could another artistic happenings be on the cards? First the actor will have to visit his grandmother, sparky gallerist Mitzi Levine Verne, who is showing Japanese works on paper at the Ink Art Fair (156). “I never know when he’s going to arrive, last time he lost his cell phone,” Verne confessed. But there was one thing she was sure of: “He loves his grandmother very much.” See more gossip from Miami in our daily edition: www.theartnewspaper.com/fairs
