Miami Gets Flashy Makeover for Art Basel
Art prices are sagging and South Florida is reeling from a collapsed real estate market, but art dealers and collectors arriving at Art Basel Miami, which takes place Dec. 4-7, will discover a refreshed city of flashy new hotels and restaurants.
Art Basel is one of the chicest events in the art world. It includes work from more than 200 international galleries selected from across the globe. Visitors are a mix of billionaires looking to scout out the next Francis Bacon, and local party girls looking to score a free Red Bull and vodka. At the center of it all is the Miami Beach Convention Center, but the art action stretches across the city at pop gallery installations, site-specific performances and public art displays strewn across local beaches and industrial sites.![]() |
