For artists Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt, who work collaboratively as R & R Studios in Miami, the 130-foot-long-by-28-foot-tall installation Bésame Mucho is a timely gesture for California. Always relating their larger-than-life-sized art to the places where they install it, the artists associate California with freedom. Inspired by L.A.’s iconic Hollywood sign, they created Bésame Mucho in the universal language of flower power — 100,000 silk flowers in a prevailing warm tone of reds, yellows, and oranges.
