To be honest I felt that most of the art wasn’t very good, and virtually none of it was as good as the people watching. Still, Art Basel is a blast. You see a ton of art, the sheer quantity is incredible, and it’s a total scene. It’s a great way to get an overview of what’s going on in contemporary art. Also you get to drink champagne while you are doing it, and who can argue with that?
Great talent and vibe. awesome artist..sights and alot to be seen..gets very packed!!! Miami in full effect!
Art Basel is the move. This fair & the fairs surrounding it are nice. Pick one you can afford and go see the art.
The events outside of the art fairs are wellmarketing events. They're not equal to Art Basel.
There's so much art to be consumed in one place in Miami during this one week in December. Even if you don't have the secured bag to collect artworksit's aspirational.
You can aspire to collect, curate, connect, collage.
Great show
Great talent and vibe
Not only is this an amazing but you get to brush shoulders with amazing artists.
One of the most comprehensive views of global contemporary art. A must see/must go for anyone seriously interested in the art world, no matter what aspect your interest may be. Also Miami in early December not much to hate about that.
Art Basel was such a creative and beautiful environment, all the art was breath-taking. Even the art that seemed simple but had so much more meaning, or the deep art with just simple meanings. I can't for next year!
Clearly, the most important art show in the United States. As it has spawned a dozen other shows that happen in the same area at the same time, we go for 4 nights and start at Art Miami the night before Art Basel opens. Dale needs to go to all the shows and see everything. I prefer to spend all my time at Art Basel where I get to see everyone I know who comes to Miami for the shows. Over the time I'm there, I add myself onto a ton of curator walks through the show which makes it particular interesting. It's amazing what a different take you get about the same galleries and works of art from different professionals.
