Art Basel: Grand Opening
Now in its 4th year on Miami Beach, Art Basel opened doors last night to an eager crowd of collectors, dealers, artists and press. The main event is at the Convention Center, but the overwhelming popularity of Basel has resulted in many outcroppings of art all over Miami and Miami Beach. After the jump are some shots of work (both old and new) we saw and loved last night. Stay tuned for lots more posts from Basel, Scope, Nada, Design Miami and more.
