Diplo gave us some art-buying tips at Art Basel in Miami Beach

Diplo wore a rainbow diamond chain around his neck, and was tanned from a recent trip to Hawaii with his sons, followed by a stop in French Polynesia, and then Tahiti, where he took a moment to sun his nether region. This is why he was late to the art fair, he explained, which opened to collectors and insiders on Tuesday. “I’m going to buy something, but I think I missed the day you buy stuff,” he told the Cut. He wasn’t stressed, though.
What kind of art is Diplo in the market for? Well, he saw some “really cool stuff,” like a “really cool” Korean artist, whose name we didn’t catch. He’s also interested in buying a mirror by the artist Anish Kapoor, whose “stuff” he also finds “really cool.” But sadly, Diplo “[doesn’t] have enough wall space” in his home for a Kapoor piece right now.
Diplo does, however, seem to have room for a life-size palm tree in his life. Designed by Thom Browne, the piece, titled, “Palm Tree 1,” is 21 vertical feet of Thom Browne seersucker scraps, which the designer describes as his “preppy interpretation of the American dream.” “Is this for sale?” Diplo asked, pointing at the fancy plant. “Oh, yeah. Then I’ll buy it,” he said without hesitation. “I’ll buy two if you got ‘em.”
