art basel miami ---- december 2-5, 2010


Several years ago I went to Miami for a friend's wedding.   After I booked my flight I decided to see what else was going on that weekend.  As the Google links popped up, the word “art” was repeated over and over.  Art Basel was the answer and it was all anyone was discussing.

Art Basel has been Switzerland's most prestigious art show for 41 years and the colorful city of Miami is the new, hot host.  (Already been to Miami?  Don’t worry; the show in Switzerland isn’t going anywhere.) 

The Art Basel galleries are among the world's most prestigious art dealers, but what’s even more exciting is the list of artists.  Of course you’ll see some well-known artists, but there’s a lot of newcomers too.   The exhibits are fascinating and have a lot of range…performance art, video projects, and public art.    Here’s a taste of this year’s artists:
