Over the past ten years, I have attended Art Basel in Miami. Each year is a little different with an evolving program of events. The city of Miami has grown up along with this fair. There are so many events to attend that it can be overwhelming. Art Basel Miami Beach is a social event as much as it is about buying and selling art. If you have never attended, it’s a great opportunity to see photography, both old and new, mixed with other art in unexpected ways in this grand capitalistic experiment. Check out my highlights below.
