Art Basel and the 2009 MIAMI satellite shows

Next week we head down to Florida for the Miami Basel Art Fair. The fair and satellite shows open as early as December 1 and run as late as December 7, 2009.
Art Basel Miami Beach is the main feature and, of course, is amazing ... held at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Art Basel is the most important art show in the United States, combining a selection of more than 250 top galleries and art dealers from around the world with special exhibitions and crossover events featuring music, film, architecture and design.

We personally thrive on getting all over town with all the other collectors, buyers, on-lookers, artists, students ... soaking in the fresh, established, emerging and out-there art shown at the satellite fairs! We will see what we can see, and report back to you on our finds, likes and dislikes, overview of each fair and reviews of selected artists!
