Art Week Miami 2010
Sixteen standout artists seen at Art Basel Miami and beyond
Save a few post-recession moments, each passing year of art-fueled events taking over Miami Beach and beyond during the first week in December seems bigger than the last. With more and more lavish parties, dinners and VIP previews surrounding the core established by Art Basel, it’s easy to lose sight of the actual art within the fabulous, sun-splashed platform for marketing luxury that the experience has become. After visiting nearly all the fairs, we managed to find a few gems sourced from
Nada, Basel,
Pulse and
Scope however—from OCD techniques to slightly goth themes, commentaries on visual culture and pop art statements—all pictured below.
